President Martin Vizcarra on Sunday led the 2018 Civic-Military Parade in Lima marking Peru's 197th Independence anniversary.
The three-and-a-half-hour-long event featured detachments representing the country's military and civil institutions, as well as National Police.
The ceremony saw the presence of State ministers, congress members, high-ranking military officers, religious authorities, diplomats, and the First Family led by the President's wife Maribel Diaz.
As every year, a limited number of seats were reserved for authorities and the press. The rest was open for a great deal of spectators.
Following a brief welcoming ceremony, attendees got together to sing the national anthem.
Held as part of Independence Day festivities, the exhibit paid tribute to Peruvian Armed Forces for their contribution to the country.
It was also an opportunity to inspire patriotism and love of country.
On this occasion, the parade featured traditional dances from Peru's inland areas.
