About the Peruvian Cultural Garden
We are thrilled to present our vision for the Peruvian Cultural Garden, an authentic and mesmerizing space that will pay tribute to Perú’s rich cultural heritage. Situated within the Cleveland Cultural Gardens on Martin Luther King Boulevard, between the African American and Ukrainian cultural gardens, it will provide visitors with an inviting space where they can experience Peruvian history, architecture, and artistic expression.
While we are at the early stages of our ambitious design process, our goal is to create a place that celebrates our history, creativity, and contributions through the centuries – from the pre-Inca civilizations to modern times. A place where we can feature architecture reminiscent of the Nazca Lines and Machu Picchu, among others. A place where we can provide a platform for events that showcase the works of world-renowned Peruvian craftsmen, artists, writers, and musicians.
We anticipate the Peruvian Garden will become an important cultural attraction that will capture the imagination of Peruvian and non-Peruvian families who visit it and a true asset in the Northeast Ohio area.
Join us in making our dream a reality by supporting the establishment of the Peruvian Garden, a legacy that celebrates the talent, values, and resilience of the Peruvian people and promotes global harmony and peace.

Project Vision:
Our bold vision for the Peruvian Garden centers around a striking stone portal that welcomes visitors and invites them to explore the natural beauty of Perú. With its intricate profile and window openings, the portal leads guests from a stone walkway—evoking the great Inca Trails—into a circular garden, setting the stage for an immersive experience.
The masterful design subtly reflects the diversity of Peru’s natural landscapes. The Coastal region is represented through the mystique of the Nazca Lines, the Andean region showcases the grandeur of the Andean Mountain range, and the Rainforest area captivates with its rich biodiversity—enchanting and educating visitors along the way.
At the heart of this vision, the striking stone portal will embrace a performing stage and amphitheater, where guests can enjoy traditional Peruvian music, dance performances, exhibitions, and hands-on activities during special events. The Peruvian Garden will be a true masterpiece of design and creativity, celebrating Perú’s rich and diverse culture.
With its stunning architectural elements, cultural displays, and vibrant performances, the garden promises to be a place of inspiration, education, and community engagement.
We invite you to join us in bringing this vision to life and creating a truly unique experience for Northeast Ohio.
