A Congress press release on line says:
Acto en la Plaza Bolívar lo presidió su titular Antero Flores »« Aquí, cada parlamentario se ubicó al pie de la bandera de la región a la que representa.meaning «The event in Bolívar Square was presided by its office-holder Antero Flores »« Here each member of Parliament located himself under the flag of the region he represents.». This suggests that all regions have flags.
Luckley my corresponsals in Peru, until now, they can check all the infos
mainly in situ (sometimes by telephonic way) and officials errors
and missinformations will are discarded. About two doubfoul departamental
flag I receive already confirmation (in fact correction) from one of
them.

Today I received information about four of the five unconfirmed
departments of Peru. Now I have precise information about the flags
of 24 departments (sometimes old and new flags) and lack only one:
Pasco.

Peruvian Vexillological Asociation will
start a official sponsored travel though Peru for search for departamental,
regional, provincial and districts flags for publish them in a future book.
This travel must be for at less three month and we can expect more new flags
(note howevher that regional, departamental, several provinces and douzaines
of fistrict flags will are published in Flag Report 22 [frp] available already in spanish version).

I wanted to follow up on a recent Flag post about regional flags in Peru. I
have been trying for several years to locate the correct flags of the Regions of
Peru (as re-formed in 2003). By accident I located a few more images of regional
(or reported) regional flags in the wiki commons.
I am still looking for Ancash, Ayacucho, Cajamarca (need to confirmed), Cusco
(confirmed), Huánuco (confirmed), Ica, Junín, Madre de Dios, Piura (confirmed),
Puno (confirmed).
FOTW already has Lima Region, Amazonas, Arquipa, Loreto and Tumbes, Tacna,
Cajamarca, Moquegua, Lambayeque Regional flags, here are other ones I spotted.
Of course these need some more verification but here are links to the images.
Not sure if you might want to download the images and send them alone.

Hope these help in the hunt for confirmation and more regional flags for Peru!

Jaume Ollé had a chance to look over my Regions of Peru page
www.worldstatesmen.org/Peru_reg.html about the regional flags. Several of the
versions of the flags I have posted now (which came from FOTW or wiki) are
incorrect. Below is Jaume's review of the Peru Regional flags based on my
current page. I thought by sending this to FOTW, it might help others create the
missing flags. If I here more form Jaume on the topic I will send them also.
And about Peruvian regions: with the help of a Peruvian friend (a woman) I was
able to compile all the regional flags. There's a big problem: sometimes the
region flag, the region government flag, or even the regional council are
different. Few regions have official flags, but surely all (I'm pending of the
confirmation of two) use white flags with arms or logo or the departmental flag.
From Internet she found several photos. The following report is based always in
photos. I will draw the images when possible.
Ancash: is one of them. My friend is from Ancash (Chimbote) and this year will
travel to her home and I will have confirmation. Seems that has a flag blue,
white and green but is unknown if is vertical or horizontal, but the parents of
my friend say that they never see it and only know the well attested
departmental blue flag.
Apurímac: has a new flag with the rainbow colors at hoist, and white with arms
at fly. About the plain white flag with arms I don't have photo evidence.
Arequipa: correct, but regional gov. has white with logo.
Ayacucho: in your page is the department flag, used provisory, but now the
regional flag is white.
Cajamarca: in your page is the department flag, used provisory, but now the
regional flag is white.
Callao: is slightly different, the inscription of the shield is changed to
"Region Callao"
Cusco: confirmed
Huancavelica: the flag of regional govern changed, instead the map and llama,
now is the logo, but regional council has white flag with map in colors (a color
for each province) an inscription semicircular changed to "Consejo Regional"
Huánuco: in your page is the department flag, used provisory, but now the
regional flag is very dark blue with logo
Ica: white with arms (I have arms but if bear a inscription is not visible in
the photo that I have).
Junín: white with logo
Loreto: in your page is the department flag, but the region adopted some years
ago white flag with arms, and more recently green flag with logo (leaving the
white flag for the gobierno regional).
Pasco: old flag I see in wikipedia but no photographic confirmation available.
New flag is correct. Regional gov has a red flag with a narrow gold frame in
four sides, logo in center and above it, in semi circle, "Gobierno regional" in
gold.
Piura, Not sure that is the regional flag, but no other know to me.
San Martín: the triangular red-white flag I don't have photo evidence. Before
has a vertical green, white, gren. (like Nigeria).
Tacna: correct (using the departmental flag for sure).
Tumbes: in your page is the department flag, but the region use different flag:
white with logo. Gobierno regional is using a yellow flag with narrow green
frame in four sides, and logo in center, bearing above "Gobierno Regional" (in
semicircle) and below "Tumbes."
