Peruvian Women Who Excel in Sports

Peruvian women know how to make their mark on the world stage. This is the case for these 10 women, who have shown that Peruvian sports are on par with global powerhouses.

Among the women we have chosen for this list are world champions in boxing, surfing, and powerboating. Without a doubt, they have demonstrated that with determination, anything is possible.

And of course, volleyball is represented. Natalia Málaga and Ángela Leyva are on our list as the most decorated athletes. They represent the new face of the discipline, with one being a coach and the other the star of the team.

And, there is one athlete who is a bonus. Valentina Shevchenko may not have been born in Peru, but she feels more Peruvian than anyone when she represents our country in the UFC.
