Search Results - Lima

Type in a word or phrase to search:

Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru. It is located in the valleys of the Chillón, Rímac and Lurín rivers, on a coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It forms a contiguous urban area with the seaport of Callao.

Lima was founded by Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535, as La Ciudad de los Reyes, or "The City of Kings." It became the most important city in the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru and, after the Peruvian War of Independence, was made the capital of the Republic of Peru. Today around one-third of the Peruvian population lives in the metropolitan area.

The first name of the city was the City of the Kings (Spanish Ciudad de los Reyes) because its foundation was decided on January 6, date of the feast of the Epiphany. However, this quickly fell into disuse, as "Lima" became the capital's name of choice. It is uncertain where this name originated; it may derive either from the Aymara word lima–limaq (yellow flower), or from Quechuan rimaq (talking), pronounced IPA&_160;['li-ma] in the ancient local Quechua I variety. It is worth noting that the river that feeds Lima is still called Rimac, closer to the Quechua II pronunciation for "Talking river". Many speculate that the Spanish produced "Lima" in trying to reproduce what in fact was "Rimac," which they heard from local inhabitants. On the oldest Spanish maps of Peru, both Lima and Ciudad de los Reyes can be seen together as names for the city.

During the early 16th century, the location of what is now the city of Lima was inhabited by several amerindian groups under the domination of the Inca Empire. In 1532, a group of Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro defeated the Inca ruler and took over his empire. Pizarro initially chose the city of Jauja as his capital but found a better site in the valley of the Rímac River. There he founded his new capital on January 18, 1535 as Ciudad de los Reyes. The city gained prestige as it was designated capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru and site of a Real Audiencia in 1543. The Western Hemisphere's first university, San Marcos University was established in 1551 and its first printing press in 1584. It also became an important religious center, a Roman Catholic diocese was established in 1541 and converted to an archdiocese five years later.

20. Sex in Peru by Rick Vecchio - Part I
June 15, 2007

Historian Maximo Terrazos didn't know much about sex when he was growing up. Given his conservative Catholic upbringing in rural Peru, sex was a taboo subject that-simply wasn't discussed. But then came a day in 1965, when the then-20-year-old university student joined a field trip to Peru's Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History and he experienced a sexual awakening. "We were a group of 50 students, male and female, and we were taken through all the galleries," says Terrazos, who went on to devote a career to studying sexuality in ancient Peru. "At the end, we were told,... (read more)
