Rímac, Colonial district in Lima, Peru
The Rímac district extends north of downtown Lima, connected by six bridges spanning across the Rímac River that flows through the capital.
Founded in 1921, the district contains numerous colonial structures, including the Puente de Piedras constructed in 1610 as the first stone bridge in Lima.
The Plaza de Acho holds South America's oldest bullring, dating from the colonial period and maintaining the traditional bullfighting heritage of Peru.
Local markets, street vendors, and public transportation routes throughout the district provide essential services to residents and visitors exploring the area.
The San Cristóbal Hill, located within Rímac, stands as the highest point in Lima Province, offering panoramic views of the metropolitan region.
