Lima, Peru
Most people arrive to and depart from Peru via Lima, the capital of Peru and its' largest city. It's the cultural and economic hub of the country. It lies on a desertic coast overlooking the Bay of Lima of the Pacific Ocean. Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, as the City of Kings. It became the most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru, an administrative area encompassing most of Spain's possessions in South America during the colonial era (mid 1500s to early 1800s). For more than three centuries, Lima was the greatest metropolis in South America. Today nearly one-third of the nation's population lives in this one metropolitan area.
