PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To prospectus dated August 18, 2015)


Republic of Peru
U.S.$1,250,000,000 4.125% U.S. Dollar-Denominated
Global Bonds Due 2027

The bonds will bear interest at the rate of 4.125% per year, accruing from August 25, 2015. Interest on the bonds is payable on February 25 and
August 25 of each year, beginning on February 25, 2016. The final maturity of the bonds will be August 25, 2027. The bonds are not redeemable
prior to maturity.
The bonds will be direct, general, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Peru. The bonds will rank equally, without any
preference among themselves, with all of Peru's other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations relating to external indebtedness
of Peru, as described in "Description of the Securities -- Debt Securities -- Defined Terms" in the accompanying prospectus.
The bonds will contain provisions regarding acceleration and future modifications to their terms, including "collective action clauses". Under
these provisions, which differ from the terms of Peru's external indebtedness issued prior to August 6, 2015 and which are described in the section
entitled "Description of the Bonds--Collective Action Clauses," "Description of the Bonds--Meetings, Amendments and Waivers--Collective
Action" in this prospectus supplement and the sections entitled "Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Default; Acceleration of Maturity,"
"Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Collective Action Clauses" and "Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Meetings,
Amendments and Waivers--Collective Action" in the accompanying prospectus, Peru may amend the payment provisions of the bonds and other
reserve matters listed in the indenture with the consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the
aggregate principal amount outstanding of such series; (2) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, if certain "uniformly applicable"
requirements are met, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by the proposed
modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or more series of debt securities, more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal amount
of the outstanding securities of all series affected by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding securities of each series affected by the proposed modification, taken individually.
Application has been made to list the bonds on the Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and for trading on the Euro MTF Market.
This prospectus supplement constitutes a prospectus for the purpose of part IV of the Luxembourg law dated July 10, 2005 on prospectus for
securities, as amended.

· recession, low economic growth or economic contraction affecting Peru's trading partners;

S-2





SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY
Peru is a sovereign state. Consequently, it may be difficult for you to obtain or realize upon judgments of courts in the United
States against Peru. Among other requirements, the execution by a Peruvian court of a judgment ordering payment by Peru of any
principal or interest arising from the bonds will be subject to availability of funds according to the statute passed by the Peruvian
Congress setting forth the budget corresponding to the fiscal year in which such payment is due.
Limitations Imposed by Budget Laws to Satisfy Payments on the Bonds
A final judgment against Peru ordering payment on the bonds is subject to Peruvian budget regulations. Pursuant to the
Budget National System General Law (Ley General del Sistema Nacional de Presupuesto) and the Public Sector Budget Law for
Fiscal Year 2015 (Ley de Presupuesto del Sector Público para el Año Fiscal 2015), payments of judgments, arbitral awards,
conciliation minutes or direct treatment agreements are subject to the following process:
· between 3% and 5% of the budget corresponding to the Ministry of Economy and Finance may be allocated towards
payments and judgments;
· payments must be made by each governmental entity (in our case, the Ministry of Economy and Finance) from its
respective bank account, taking into account all mandatory priorities;
· in case the judgment payment orders exceed the 3% threshold, the Ministry of Economy and Finance would pay its
creditors on a pro rata basis; and
· payment requirements in excess of the 5% threshold, must be included in the budgets approved for the following five
fiscal years.
Enforceability of Judgments
If the payment of any judicial order is not honored by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, a proceeding for the execution
of judicial resolutions may be initiated as provided for in article 688 et. seq. of the Peruvian Civil Procedure Code. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in accordance with section 73 of the Peruvian Political Constitution, public domain assets destined for the public
service and use are inalienable and are not subject to any interest due to possession (prescripción adquisitiva). Public domain assets
are a special form of property that can only be set aside for the public use, a service to the community or national interest. As such,
those assets as well as (i) property used by a diplomatic or consular mission of Peru; (ii) property of a military character and under the
control of a military authority or defense agency of Peru; (iii) public property; (iv) shares of Peruvian public sector entities or shares of
Peruvian private sector entities owned or controlled by Peru or by a Peruvian public sector entity, or revenues collected from the sale
of such shares, to the extent such shares or revenues are exempt by Peruvian law from attachment or execution; or (v) funds deposited
in Peru's accounts held in the Peruvian financial system that constitute public domain property, are neither subject to liens or
encumbrances nor to a judicial attachment. Conversely, assets not set aside for the public domain are subject to the private domain of
the Peruvian government (which includes, among others, the cash deposits of the Peruvian government abroad) and as such may be
encumbered or attached.
For more information, see "Description of the Securities -- Jurisdiction, Consent to Service and Enforceability" in the
accompanying prospectus.

Redemption or Sinking Fund

The bonds will not benefit from any sinking fund. We may not redeem the bonds
before maturity. We will redeem the bonds at par at maturity.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the sale of the bonds were U.S.$1,247,075,000. The
underwriting fee of U.S.$1,875,000 was paid separately by us, as described in
"Underwriting". We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to prefinance a
portion of the general financial requirements for the year 2016.

Collective Action Clauses

The bonds will contain provisions regarding acceleration and future modifications
to their terms, including "collective action clauses". Under these provisions, which
differ from the terms of Peru's external indebtedness issued prior to August 6,
2015 and which are described in the section entitled "Description of the Bonds--
Collective Action Clauses" in this prospectus supplement and the sections entitled
"Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Default; Acceleration of
Maturity," "Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Collective Action
Clauses" and "Description of the Securities--Debt Securities--Meetings,
Amendments and Waivers--Collective Action" in the accompanying prospectus,
Peru may amend the payment provisions of the bonds and other reserve matters
listed in the indenture with the consent of the holders of: (1) with respect to a
single series of debt securities, more than 75% of the aggregate principal amount
outstanding of such series; (2) with respect to two or more series of debt securities,
if certain "uniformly applicable" requirements are met, more than 75% of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected
by the proposed modification, taken in the aggregate; or (3) with respect to two or
more series of debt securities, more than 66 2/3% of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding securities of all series affected by the proposed
modification, taken in the aggregate, and more than 50% of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding securities of each series affected by the proposed
modification, taken individually.

Negative Pledge
The bonds will contain certain covenants, including restrictions on the incurrence
of liens. These covenants are subject to many exceptions.
S-7





Denominations
We issued the bonds only in denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples of
U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof.


Ranking

The bonds will be direct, general, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of Peru. The bonds will rank at least equally, without any preference
among themselves, with all of our other existing and future unsecured and
unsubordinated obligations relating to our external indebtedness as described in
"Description of the Securities -- Debt Securities -- Defined Terms" in the
accompanying prospectus.

Additional Amounts

We will make payments of principal and interest in respect of the bonds without
withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future Peruvian taxes,
duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature except as required
by law. If we are required by law to make any such withholding or deduction, we
will pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure the net amount
