A Legacy of Storytelling
Founded by Manuel Amunátegui and Alejandro Villota, El Comercio began as a simple four-page newspaper. Over the years, it evolved alongside Peru, chronicling wars, cultural shifts, and moments of national pride. Its pages are a reflection of Peru’s journey through time.

Embracing the Digital Age
In an era where news consumption is rapidly changing, El Comercio has adapted by expanding its digital presence. With online articles, social media engagement, and multimedia content, it continues to reach new generations of readers.
Covering the APEC Meetings
This week, as Lima hosts the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Meetings, El Comercio is once again at the forefront, providing comprehensive coverage of discussions that could shape the future of trade and cooperation in the region.
