Founded by that conqueror in 1535 and who, until the beginning of the cycle, ordered "the whole Lima", Lima of conquerors, viceroyalty with its personages like the Perricholi. Lima's downtown and also Lima of the chaos, of informal selling (you can buy EVERYTHING. Since you need to build a whole house and to fix it, without the need to go into a store!). In that part of the city there are particularly traffic jam and the traffic is totally monstrous in crowd hours.
 
 

Lima of "Shanty towns ",

The result of a rural exodus with a population which looked for the solution to its difficult conditions of life and it found in front to the misery the hunger, the delinquency, the violence, the drug, etc. Very hard elements of life which face up the courage mothers, the Mother Clubs, "Comedores Populares"  . Men, women and children of a sewer dignity.
