Trivia

  • Despite the fact that Ucayali is an official region of Peru since 1980, The Rotary Club of Pucallpa sponsors Mary Ann's participation in Miss Peru Pageant. For this reason she is considerate the first Miss Ucayali (and the most successful one at the National Pageant and at Miss Universe Pageant to the present day).
