Lima Peru Villa Salvador Stake has 11 wards, El Sol, Floresta, Jose Galvez, Laderas de Villa, Las Lomas, Los Angeles, Lurin, Pachacamac, Villa Alejandro and Villa El Salvador 1st and 2nd wards.

Other stakes of Peru to the list:

Chiclayo Perú Central Stake (9 wards, 1 branch)
Chiclayo Perú El Dorado Stake (9 wards)
Chiclayo Perú Latina Stake (9 wards)
Chimbote Perú Stake (9 wards)
Lima Perú Surco Stake (9 wards)
Mantaro Perú Stake (8 wards, 2 branches)

Correct me if I'm wrong they should get on the list

Thanks for the correction for the Lima Peru Villa Salvador Stake.

I agree that each of the additional stakes that you listed may split, but I see them as less likely compared to the Peruvian stakes that I listed. Each of these stakes you listed has an insufficient number of congregations at present for a new stake to be organized without additional congregations added from another stake. If additional wards are organized in these stakes, they will appear more likely candidates.

I think that a new stake is likely in Chiclayo by a realignment of two or more stakes, but I do not see other stakes you listed splitting any time soon as no new wards have recently been organized in these stakes from what I know.

Thanks Matt for your comments, need to grow stakes of Peru to divide is true.

I think too will be organized a stake in Chiclayo by realignament.

Peru to reach 100 stakes?.
