The Peruvian delegation of the Lima 2019 Pan American Games made its presentation at the Estadio Nacional with Stefano Peschiera as the flag bearer. To the rhythm of 'Cariñito' by Los hijos del sol, the more than 700 members of the delegation representing Peru in these Games made their appearance, dancing, singing, and enjoying this great moment.
Peru was the last delegation to make its appearance on the big stage set up on the field of the Estadio Nacional. With several songs by Peruvian composers playing in the background, Peruvian athletes enjoyed this historic moment.
Inauguration
Proud to host the most important sports event in its history, Peru spared no effort in putting on a spectacle for its inauguration. They enlisted the help of the Italian company Balich Worldwide Shows, whose members were responsible for orchestrating the Olympic ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro 2016.
After a countdown, in the final seconds of which the different editions of the Pan American Games since Buenos Aires 1951 were listed, the show began, featuring around 1,700 artists including dancers, acrobats, and musicians. Later, performances by Luis Fonsi and Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez are scheduled.
