Peru took part in the United States' Fourth of July celebrations by showcasing its culture, tourism, and national identity aboard the B.A.P. Unión, the Peruvian Navy's training ship. The vessel joined the international festivities in New York as part of its 2026 overseas training voyage, welcoming visitors with a special exhibition highlighting what Peru has to offer.
On board, guests explored Casa Perú, a promotional space featuring the country's travel experiences, gastronomy, traditional products, and the Peru Brand. The initiative is designed to introduce international audiences to Peru's cultural richness and encourage future travel to the country.
The B.A.P. Unión has become a traveling ambassador for Peru, visiting ports across the Americas while promoting the country's heritage and tourism. During its current voyage, the ship is expected to stop at several international destinations, helping strengthen Peru's presence abroad through cultural exchange and public events.
