Francisco Pizarro built the city in 1535. Within a few decades, Lima transformed from a tiny fishing community along the Rímac River to becoming one of the most significant cities in South America.

Lima’s Jorge Chavez airport is the only transatlantic airport in Peru, making it the starting point of almost every Peru trip.
