The theme park of the Peruvian Air Force is homage to the brave Peruvian pilots who defended their country. The open air museum exhibits various war planes like a Cessna T-37 B "tweety bird", a Sukhoi SU-22, a Queen Air A-80 or AN 32-B and helicopters. Impressive are the displayed rocket launchers including ammunition and the launching platforms with their missiles.

Other things to see are radars, wind gauges, bombs, rockets and of course the pilot's and paratrooper's uniforms worn by mannequins. The Parque Tematico de la Fuerza Aérea del Peru an interesting and colossal place to discover another part of Peruvian history. Just opposite on the corner with Av. Bocanegra you find the theme park of the Peruvian Navy, the Parque Tematico de la Marina de Guerra.
