How we accomplish this
Cultural Events
We celebrate the diverse regions of Peru through Cultural Festivals that pays tribute to each region's dance, music, art and traditions. By sharing these customs, we are able to provide cultural insights to the American community.
Since its inception, APIC has promoted cultural inclusion. Each region is unique in the manner in which it blends its Andean indigenous roots with Spanish, African, European, Japanese and Chinese ancestries.
