Ignite Your Rainbow Spirit in the Historic Heart of Peru: Celebrate Marcha del Orgullo Lima!

Lima's Marcha del Orgullo is one of South America's most politically charged Pride marches, held in a country where same-sex marriage remains unrecognised, and LGBTQ+ discrimination still lacks full legal protection. Every June, tens of thousands march from Campo de Marte in Jesús María through central Lima, turning Avenida de la Peruanidad into a river of flags and resistance. It is both a celebration and a demand.
