PromPerú brought La Ruta de León to Miraflores on 7 November

PromPerú brought La Ruta de León to Miraflores in Lima on 7 and 8 November 2026, placing a public tourism activation in Parque Salazar. The temporary programme accompanied Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Peru and presented destinations connected with his journey.

La Ruta de León ran at Parque Salazar on 7 and 8 November

The activation took place on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November 2026 at Parque Alfredo Salazar. The two-day programme was organised by PromPerú and was open to the public.

A dome combined tourism information, participatory activities and virtual reality. Visitors could explore Lima, Callao, Lambayeque, Cajamarca, Cusco and Ucayali through the presentation, while a separate activity allowed them to leave a message for the Pope that PromPerú said would be compiled and delivered digitally.

The event had a direct link to the pontiff’s visit, but its subject was wider than the religious itinerary. It used the Lima coastal district as a temporary setting for information about destinations across Peru, making Parque Salazar both the venue and the starting point for the showcase.

Parque Salazar links the event to Miraflores’s coastal setting

Parque Salazar stands at the intersection of Avenida Larco, Malecón de la Reserva and Avenida Armendáriz. The municipal description places it beside the coastal route and identifies it as one of the district’s principal public spaces.

The park commemorates Alfredo Salazar Southwell, a Peruvian Air Force pilot who died on 14 September 1937 after directing his burning aircraft away from populated parts of the city. The municipal park record connects the site’s name with that act of sacrifice.

That setting gave the activation a specific geographical character. The dome stood in a park associated with the district’s coastal public realm, while the programme directed attention towards inland destinations, historic cities and regions included in the national tourism presentation.

Miraflores became an official district of Lima through legislation promulgated on 2 January 1857. Municipal tourism information describes the area as a visitor district with parks, seafront promenades, beaches, museums and archaeological attractions.
