Lima Metropolitana in Peru
|
Lima Metropolitana is the largest metro area in Peru and encompasses the capital city of Lima. It covers an area of about 1010 km² (390 sq mi), and runs north-south along the Pacific Ocean coast for more than 50 km (31 mi). This metro area extends nearly 40 km (25 mi) from east to west, following the Rímac River inland from the ocean. It is bordered by the Lima Provincias region on the east, south and north; and by the Callao region and the Pacific Ocean on the west.
Politics
Metropolitan Lima is not part of any of the twenty-five regions of Peru, and therefore has no regional government of its own. Instead, it is controlled directly by the Municipality of Lima. The mayor of Lima is Luis Castañeda Lossio.
Division
Metropolitan Lima is divided into 43 districts (distritos; singular: distrito). Each district is headed by a mayor (alcalde).
