Caretas (, ) is a weekly newsmagazine published in Lima, Peru, renowned for its investigative journalism.

History

Caretas was founded in October 1950 by Doris Gibson and Francisco Igartua.

In the mid-1950s, Gibson's son, Enrique Zileri, returned from Europe (from where he had been making contributions for the magazine) to join Caretas. Not long after, Igartua departed from the magazine and Zileri joined Gibson as co-director.

After several years of monthly publication, Caretas began to be published semi-monthly, and, since 1979, weekly.
