The participation of Peru in the OTI Festival began at the first OTI Festival in 1972. The Peruvian participating broadcasters were Panamericana Televisión and Compañía Peruana de Radiodifusión (CPR), members of the Organización de Televisión Iberoamericana (OTI). They participated in all twenty-eight editions of the festival, and hosted the event twice: in 1982 and 1997. Their best result was second achieved in 1973.
Peruvian first participant, Betty Missiego, would represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 1979 with "Su canción", placing second.
