Lima is a different city than 5 years tourist can remember from they visit, because today the Peru’s capital is changing in every corner, thanks to a favorable economic growing in the last decade, and the hard work of their people.
Buildings, stores, malls, boutiques and even the traffic lights are having a new face in some sectors of Lima, globalization and Free Trade Agreements are giving to this part of Latin America an unique and new chance to stand up next to the biggest. Even if for the moment this is the only city where you can see the big changes in this country, the others cities are just coming behind.
This pictures try to show some sides of the change, in the traffic, on the stores, on the streets and mostly try to show Lima from a different point of view: from the lens of an amateur photographer who is growing with his city.
