How to Listen to Peruvian Radio Online

Updated 13 September 2026

You can stream Peruvian radio live in any browser — radio online Perú en vivo, with no download and no account. Open 72FM's Peru page, choose a station and press play. Peru's radio is as varied as its geography: Lima's news and hits stations, cumbia from the coast and the highlands, Andean music in Spanish and Quechua, and football commentary that stops the country.

News and talk

• RPP Noticias — Peru's best-known news station, the one the country turns to for breaking news, elections and emergencies, and among the most-voted Peruvian stations in the directory.
• PBO Radio — news and opinion talk from Lima.
• Radio María Perú — Catholic programming on AM and FM.

In a country that lives with earthquakes and El Niño floods, news radio is also the emergency channel, especially outside Lima where it is often the fastest source of local information.

Sport: football on the radio

Peruvians follow football on the radio with the same passion they bring to the stadium. Ovación on 620 AM is a sports station from Lima, and RPP Mundial carries football coverage. When the national team plays a World Cup qualifier, the commentary is as much a part of the event as the match.

The Lima FM dial

• Radio Oxígeno — pop and rock classics, one of the most-voted Peruvian stations in the directory.
• Studio 92 — pop, hip-hop, electronic and K-pop for a young audience.
• La Zona and Onda Cero — reggaeton and urban music.
• Radio Corazón — romantic ballads in Spanish.
• Panamericana — salsa, and its sister stream Panamericana Retro Rock for rock and pop from the 1980s to the 2000s.
• Radio La Mega — cumbia, merengue and tropical music.

The most-voted Peruvian stream of all, Top Latino, is a Latin hits stream — proof of how much Peru listens to Latin pop.

The sounds that come from here

Cumbia peruana and chicha. Peru took Colombian cumbia and made it its own: first the psychedelic, guitar-led chicha of the Amazon and of Lima's Andean migrants, then the cumbia bands that fill every party today. Stations such as Radio La Mega and Radio Huancayo play it all day.

Huayno and Andean music. Huayno, the music of the highlands, is sung in Spanish and Quechua and is the everyday sound of radio in Cusco, Ayacucho, Puno and Junín. Community stations in the Andes broadcast in Quechua and Aymara, among the few media in those languages.

Música criolla. The Peruvian waltz and the songs of Chabuca Granda belong to the coast and to Lima's old neighbourhoods, and they come back around the Fiestas Patrias on 28 and 29 July.

Afro-Peruvian music. The festejo and landó of Peru's Black communities, carried to the world by singers such as Susana Baca, are heard on the cultural stations and in the criollo programmes.

Salsa and boleros. Lima is a salsa city, and online streams such as La Salsa Maestra and Boleros Inolvidables serve an audience that never stopped dancing and never stopped listening to the old romantic songs.

The regions

Lima dominates the dial, but not the country. Radio Huancayo in Junín is one of the most-voted stations in the directory, Radio Frecuencia 100 serves Trujillo on the north coast, and Radio Los Ángeles in Chepén streams at 320kbps — a far higher bitrate than most of Lima. Regional stations are where you hear local accents, local news and the music of each department.

Listening from abroad

Millions of Peruvians live abroad — in the United States, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Italy and Japan — and radio from home is how many of them follow the news, the football and the music. Everything in the directory streams internationally in the ordinary way; if a particular broadcast, such as a football match, is restricted, that is the broadcaster's rights decision. Expat radio covers this habit.

Sound quality

Peruvian streams range from 48kbps for Top Latino and the AM sports stations to 128kbps for most of the Lima FM dial, 192kbps for Studio 92 and 320kbps for Radio Los Ángeles. Check each station card for the bitrate; radio audio quality and bitrate explains what the numbers mean.
