Señor de los Milagros Anda Tilts in Lima as Cargadores Steady It Without Injuries

Authorities confirmed the remaining dates will go ahead under established safety protocols.

Overview

  • The near-tilt occurred around 8 p.m. on October 4 on Avenida Tacna near the end of the first 2025 procession, prompting brief alarm among attendees.
  • Canal N reported the lean followed a movement order that was not executed simultaneously by members of the Hermandad, causing the heavy structure to shift before it was stabilized.
  • No injuries or major damage were reported, though videos of the moment circulated widely on social platforms.
  • The anda exceeds one metric ton, is carried by 34 cargadores per cuadrilla, and crews rotate every 5–7 minutes to manage fatigue and reduce risk.
  • The Arzobispado de Lima reaffirmed upcoming outings on October 18, 19, 28, 29 and November 1, including a planned extraordinary route to Callao, with police, transit and medical support in place.
