Sports career

Perez del Solar began to play volleyball at 14 years old. Her 1.94m height helped her to become an internationally respected blocker. She began to show her abilities for the sport in the 1985 Volleyball World Cup in Japan, and at just 17 years old was chosen as the best blocker of the tournament. She was a member of the team that won the silver medal in the Olympic Games of Seoul in 1988. She retired from the Peruvian national team after winning the 1993 South America Volleyball Championship in Cuzco.

In Italy

After retiring in Peru, Perez del Solar began playing in Italy. She was invited to become a member of the Italian national team, but rejected the offer.

Political life

In 2005, the then presidential candidate Lourdes Flores Nano invited Perez del Solar to run for Congress and she accepted. In the general elections of 2006, she was elected with the most votes in her district and fifth highest number of votes in the nation. In April 2006, she became a member of the Unidad Nacional, in a ceremony prepared by Xavier Barrón and Lourdes Flores. In the 2011 election, she was re-elected for another five-year term on the ticket of the Alliance for the Great Change to which the Christian People's Party now belongs.
