Conoce más de la historia de Lima, una ciudad llena de encanto y tradición. Fundada en 1535 por Francisco Pizarro, Lima fue bautizada como «La Ciudad de los Reyes» por su importancia política y cultural durante el Virreinato del Perú.
Discover the Historic Center of the city, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991. Stroll through its streets filled with beautiful churches, convents, and mansions that preserve the tradition of Spanish American Baroque, offering a glimpse into the architectural and urban development of the old Spanish colonial city.
