Lima

The Pacific coast and the Andes define much of Lima – the sharp transition from coastal desert to high valleys concentrates farming, transport and settlement along river corridors. The Cañete River descends from the Andes towards the Pacific, linking highland communities with the coast. Its upper catchment includes the Nor Yauyos-Cochas Landscape Reserve, which extends into neighbouring Junín and protects rugged mountain waterways. In the Cañete Valley, the Inca archaeological complex of Incahuasi attests to the area’s place in the Andean world. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Lima.
