Both countries established relations in the 19th century. In 1851, Austria–Hungary recognized the independence of Peru, and both countries subsequently established relations.[3] As a result of World War I, Peru severed relations with both Germany and Austria–Hungary in 1917, reestablishing them in 1920.[4]

After the 1968 Peruvian coup d'état and the establishment of Juan Velasco Alvarado's Revolutionary Government, relations were renewed in April 1969[5] with the Hungarian People's Republic as the new Peruvian government pursued closer relations with the Soviet bloc.[6]

The Peruvian embassy in Budapest closed in January 2007 and reopened in 2017.[7][8][9] Today, ethnic Hungarians in Latin America reside in Argentina and Peru for the most part.[10]
