What you should know about - Lima
The geography of Lima is characterized by a coastal desert interrupted by the valleys of the Rímac, Chillón, and Lurín rivers. Its strategic location on the central Peruvian coast grants it a unique subtropical climate, with very little rainfall and high humidity that defines its atmosphere for much of the year.
Coastline and Coastal Relief
- Costa Verde: An imposing set of cliffs separating the city from the Pacific beaches, offering a unique urban landscape.
- Altitude: The city rises from sea level to 1,640 feet in the foothills of the Andes Mountains.
- Palomino Islands: A marine ecosystem off the coast of Callao where sea lions and guano birds coexist in their natural state.
Ecosystems and Subtropical Climate
Despite being in a tropical zone, the Humboldt Current cools Lima's sea waters, preventing torrential rains and generating a persistent mist. Nearby, the Lachay Hills offer a seasonal oasis of vegetation that blooms between July and October, creating a stunning green contrast in the middle of the desert.
