Sendero Luminoso is the name of a Maoist guerrilla insurgent/terrorist organization in Peru. The name of the organization translates to "Shining Path" in English. Shining Path was most active in the 1980s, and the goal of the organization was to champion cultural revolutionary ideals generally associated with Communism. The organization's activity has declined in the past 20 years since the leader of the group (Abimael Guzman) was arrested and imprisoned in 1992.

Sendero Luminoso, or the Shining Path, typically comprises impoverished individuals from rural areas of Peru, often with limited education and economic opportunities. Many of its members are drawn from indigenous communities and disenfranchised youth seeking an alternative to their marginalized existence. The group also attracts individuals disillusioned with the government and traditional political structures, motivated by a radical Marxist ideology. Over time, membership has dwindled, but the core remains committed to violent revolutionary tactics.
