The article explores the history of Polish people in Latin America, with a focus on their migration to Peru from the 19th century to the early 20th century. The author discusses the roles of Poland's political turbulence and loss of independence in the exile and migration to other countries, including Latin America and Peru. It is emphasized that Latin America's pro-immigrant policy led to large waves of Polish immigrants arriving in South America, including Peru. Polish workers in Peru included those who built roads and railways, Polish missionaries and nuns and Polish agronomists who managed estates in northern Peru.
