Sarita Colonia



While in Lima I visited the grave of Sarita Colonia. Described as the patron saint of homosexuals, bus drivers, taxi drivers, job seekers and migrants is Sarita Colonia who was born in Lima in 1926 and died in 1952 and is buried in Cementerio Baquijano in Callao.

A lot more about her and the cult that has developed around her at

Some Photos I took of this rather strange place
