Peruvian Mexicans

The first South Americans to arrive in independent Mexico came from Chile and Peru, who passed through the ports of Acapulco and Puerto Ángel, to buy supplies during the boom of the California Gold Rush in the mid-19th century. Some Chilean and Peruvian migrants stayed and put down cultural roots among the coastal populations of the Mexican Pacific coast, from Oaxaca to the Baja California Peninsula.

In 1973, numerous South Americans escaped the political persecution of the military dictatorships by seeking political asylum, accompanied by Chileans, Uruguayans, Argentines and Peruvians fleeing persecutions carried out by their respective governments. Higher education centers in Mexico served as a platform to protect their stay within the country.

A possible contribution that Peruvian tradition could have in Mexico is Ceviche. Although Mexican ceviche is different from the Peruvian version; it is thought that this dish could have come from Peru. The data is debatable since it is also theorized that this certain way of preparing ceviche in Mexico could have come from Polynesia during the Spanish routes between New Spain and the Philippines.^[3]
