The competitions spanned 17 days, along with their respective ceremonies, during which athletes demonstrated their talents in many locations of Lima and Callao. At least 14 districts housed venues, such as the National Sports Village (VIDENA), the Villa María del Triunfo Sports Center, and the Callao Regional Sports Village, among others.
