She was one of the seven delegates from Peru who competed at both pageants, but the only one to make the top in Miss Universe and Miss World.

Martha Quimper Suárez was unable to represent Peru in Miss International 1966, due to its cancellation. She did compete in Miss International 1967 where she reached the 3rd Runner-up position, making hers the highest placement for a Peruvian in this pageant.
