Chorrillos Military School, Military academy in Chorrillos, Peru.
The Chorrillos Military School is a training facility for future officers of the Peruvian Armed Forces located in southern Lima. The campus includes classrooms, training grounds, and dormitories where cadets study military disciplines and leadership skills.
The academy was established in 1830 and has educated multiple generations of military leaders who shaped Peru's armed forces. Over time, the institution has adapted its training programs to meet evolving military needs.
The institution is guided by values of discipline, morality, and fairness that shape how cadets conduct themselves daily. These principles are visible in the structured routines and interactions throughout the campus.
The facility is located on Avenida Escuela Militar in southern Lima and is accessible on weekdays during standard business hours. Visitors should expect that certain areas may be restricted for security reasons.
The campus hosted weightlifting, modern pentathlon, and bodybuilding competitions during the 2019 Pan American Games. This temporary transformation demonstrated how the facility's infrastructure serves purposes beyond military training.
