Considering the Suites Del Bosque in Lima?

Lima was founded in that place... by utttz
Lima was founded in that place just because it was in the middle of peru and near to the sea.... There's some ancient remaining, but lima's area was almost a desert before spanish conquest. The area of lima is definitely not inviting to build a town but it has everything requested by a 'normal' civilisation: water, mild climate and lot of seafood... I wonder why incas always preferred to stay in those 'hard' mountains :-)... Lima was founded to be the capital and a connecting harbour... it seems quite strange to me that the harbour is not developed at all
