During the activity, the Head of State was accompanied by Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzen, Defense Minister Walter Astudillo, as well as senior members of the National Police of Peru and the Armed Forces.

It also provides honors to the President, renders honors to the heads of state who visit Peru, and stands at the main entrance of the Palace every day.

The Changing of the Guard constitutes a tourist attraction of the Government Palace that takes place at 12:00 p.m.
