October

Devotion, Culture, and Living Tradition

The Purple Month (Mes Morado), marked by the imposing procession of the Lord of Miracles (Señor de los Milagros), is one of the most massive religious expressions in Latin America. It also comes accompanied by the flavor of tradition—specifically, the iconic desserts Turrón de Doña Pepa and Picarones. October also brings other important moments, like the Day of the Creole Song (Día de la Canción Criolla).

October is an invitation to experience the most authentic, emotional, and flavorful Lima. Get ready for a month full of faith, history, and the return of the beloved Lima sun!
