As a prelude to the official opening of Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai, Japanese media were granted an exclusive visit to the international exhibition halls; among them, Peru's pavilion stood out as one of the most visited.

According to the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (PromPeru), over 80 journalists and content creators explored the Peruvian exhibitions during a four-hour tour.

The reception for journalists at the Peruvian pavilion was held to the rhythm of 'Valicha,' inviting the public to celebrate our traditional dances.

Likewise, guests enjoyed the exhibit "The Treasures of the Lord of Sipan," along with immersive videos featuring the Nasca Lines, the Sacred City of Caral, Machu Picchu, Moray, the Amazon rainforest in Loreto, among other attractions.


Attendees also witnessed the preparation of iconic dishes such as Causa Limeña, Patacones, and various creations featuring Peruvian superfoods and chocolate. For some, it was their first taste of Chicha Morada, Chilcano, and Pisco Sour.

Notably, Yoichi Tsuji, a well-known Osaka TV presenter, wore a traditional Cusco outfit and praised the Pisco Sour, highlighting its perfect pairing with Peruvian cuisine.


Additionally, it features a special exhibit honoring over 150 years of friendship between Peru and Japan, highlighting the work of the Amano Museum, founded by Yoshitaro Amano.

Located in the "Empowering Lives" zone, the pavilion's façade proudly showcases Machu Picchu, one of the New Seven Wonders of the Modern World —and is expected to attract millions of visitors.

The official inauguration of Peru's pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai is scheduled for Sunday, April 13. It will be presided over by Foreign Trade and Tourism Minister Desilu Leon.
