Near-Fall of Señor de los Milagros Anda on Av. Tacna Quickly Stabilized

The six-date program proceeds as scheduled, including an extraordinary visit to Callao after 22 years.

Overview

  • Around 8 p.m. on October 4, the anda tilted sharply on Avenida Tacna near the end of the opening outing, and bearers quickly steadied it as the image returned to Las Nazarenas.
  • Canal N reported the tilt was caused by a desynchronized movement that broke the carriers’ coordination.
  • Attendees captured the scare on video, which spread rapidly across social networks and drew wide media attention.
  • Organizers continue with the October–November procession calendar, which includes a rare Callao route after more than two decades.
  • Each cuadrilla typically fields 34 bearers to carry an anda exceeding 1,000 kilograms, rotating every five to seven minutes to manage fatigue and reduce accidents.
