Lince

Lince is a residential district in Lima situated between downtown and San Isidro, filled with apartment buildings and shops that line Avenida Arequipa. The area serves as a transitional zone connecting these two important neighborhoods through its central location.

The district gained independent status in 1936 when it separated from the neighboring areas of Miraflores and San Isidro. This division created a distinct administrative unit within Lima's urban structure.

The neighborhood showcases Art Deco architecture from the 1930s, with buildings designed in this style still visible in residences, schools, and shops along the streets. These structures continue to define the character of the area and reflect how the city developed during that period.

The central location provides easy access to different parts of the city through main roads like Avenida Arequipa. Visitors can navigate the area on foot or use public transportation to reach nearby neighborhoods and attractions.

Parque Mariscal Castilla offers a green space in the middle of this densely built area and ranks among the city's larger parks. This park provides a place for outdoor leisure despite the neighborhood's dense development.
