Andina is a news agency owned by the Peruvian government, covering Latin America and the world at large.

[2] Andina was founded on June 12, 1981, during the second presidency of Fernando Belaúnde Terry.

It is an official state outlet of the Peruvian government, part of the group Editora Perú, which also publishes the daily newspaper El Peruano.

The two outlets were briefly combined in 2001, before Alejandro Toledo's government reestablished Andina as a separate news agency the following year, under the leadership of the journalist Gerardo Barraza.

Since 2012, Andina has been a member of the Latin American Union of News Agencies.
