Peru is scheduled to compete at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile from October 20 to November 5, 2023. This was Peru's 18th appearance at the Pan American Games, having competed at every Games since 1951, except for the second edition in 1955.
Sport shooter Nicolás Pacheco and surfer María Fernanda Reyes were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony. Athlete Gladys Tejeda was initially selected as flagbearer but decided to step aside at the last moment in order to focus on her marathon competition scheduled for October 22, two days later.[1][2] Meanwhile, squash athlete Diego Elías and race walker Kimberly García were the country's flagbearers during the closing ceremony.
