Miraflores Sets Security Plan as Virgen de Chapi Mobile Procession Enters Fourth Year

Officials announce a large deployment to keep crowds orderly and vendors in check.

Overview

  • Parish leaders confirmed a daylong mobile procession through Miraflores neighborhoods that will end with an evening mass at the Chapi Chico parish.
  • The route will run from Alto Perú across side streets toward the district municipality so the image can reach elderly and sick residents who cannot leave home.
  • The district announced a safety plan that brings in about 300 National Police officers, rotating municipal security teams, 50 support staff, and a staffed ambulance.
  • Authorities will formalize roughly 40 vendor stalls and assign them to Rodríguez Ballón, Bolognesi, and Ramón Castilla to avoid blocked streets and keep the route clear.
  • The parish published the May 1 program with a pre-dawn rosary, hourly morning masses, a short afternoon foot procession, and a closing mass for families in difficulty, and organizers expect 3,000 to 4,000 pilgrims.
