Los Centauros Peruanos

The Peruvian Centaurs, erroneously listed in various publications as the first documentary footage taken in the country, is a film approximately 10 minutes long. It showed equestrian exercises practiced by the third cavalry squadron in the so-called Magdalena Valley in Lima. Models for its creation were the popular equestrian films exhibited in Lima under the title "The Centaurs," followed by the name of their nationality. There were, therefore, Russian, Belgian, French, Italian, and, of course, Peruvian centaurs.
