  • Buenos Aires to Lima By
    FH {SR--27 The Bolivar Hotel Lima, Peru August 31, 1942 Dear hr. <oer s It is surprising how simple and relatively unexciting it seems to fly. Saturday, August 22, I climbed aboard a seven-ton, two-motored anagra plane and took off for the first time in my.life on the first lap of a 6,000 mile air journey--Buenos Aires to iiami. We were off and away without a bump. In a few minutes we were roaring high above the pampa. There is no reason to get poetic about a bird's eye view of the rGentine plains. For two and a half hours, at seven thousand feet, we moved over the flat gra. in belt. I amused myself by looking at the edge of the ing and watching one field after another come into view. That way one 5or the feeling of mo- tion.. any of the fields, I knew, were as large as five hundred or a thousand acres. One could count the chacras below. Every primitive bin or two meant a chacra. One could look right down upon th yel'low ,aize in thcorntrojes, uncovered and unpro- tected from the elements. Estancias were umistakable too, for stately groves of trees numbered them. Trees stood out best of all. In two hours flyin time the .green of the green fields bec-ame lighter, ore delicate, and I kno: that C6rdoba could not be very far away. Surely enoush, 6rdoba came into view, restin in a natural de- pression at the foot of the sierras and at the edge of the pampa.

Received: 30 October 2019; Accepted: 2 December 2019; Published: 10 December 2019 Abstract: Lima has become the first Peruvian megacity with more than 10 million people, resulting from the migration waves from the countryside throughout the 20th century, which have also contributed to the diverse ethnic background of today’s city. The paper analyzes two neighborhoods located in the inter-district area of Northern Lima: Pampa de Cueva and El Ermitaño as paradigmatic cases of the city’s expansion through non-formal settlements during the 1960s. They represent a relevant case study because of their complex urbanization process, the presence of pre-Hispanic heritage, their location in vulnerable hillside areas in the fringe with a protected natural landscape, and their potential for sustainable local economic development. The article traces back the consolidation process of these self-built neighborhoods or barriadas within the context of Northern Lima as a new centrality for the metropolitan area.
