travel south america peru lima chorrillos district
The Chorrillos District of the Lima Province gets it's name from the Spanish word for "trickle of water."
Founded as San Pedro de los Chorrillos, the district served as a deluxe beach resort until the late 19th century when it was almost
completely destroyed by Chilean forces during the War of the Pacific.
The district has a contrasting combination of new modern areas and old tired neighborhoods.
