LIMA
 The city of Lima, founded in 1535, was the capital city of the Viceroyalty and the most important city during the Spanish Colony. Today, it´s the country´s capital city and the main entrance gate to Peru. The city´s center has been declared as Humanity´s Cultural Patrimony in 1991, by the UNESCO, due to its great colonial beauty which keeps its old tradition. However, it´s a modern metropolis, with an important touristic infrastructure; mixture of history and modernity...
In touristic places, one can visit from pre-inca sites like Pachacamac, to colonial mansions and churches in good state of conservation. This is why Lima is an ideal city to organize congresses and events.
