IrishPeruvians
Irish Peruvians are Peruvian citizens of Irish descent. While not as numerous as other European immigrant groups in Peru, a notable Irish presence has existed throughout Peruvian history, particularly in mining and agricultural communities. The earliest significant Irish immigration occurred in the 19th century, with many Irish individuals arriving during the California Gold Rush and some subsequently settling in Peru. Other Irish immigrants came to work in the nitrate and guano industries or on large agricultural estates.
These immigrants often integrated into Peruvian society, intermarrying with locals and contributing to the cultural tapestry
