Las Lomas de Pamplona
The Lomas make up one of the principal lungs in the district of San Juan de Miraflores, and one of the few places within Lima where the emblematic flor de amancaes continues to flower.
They also constitute unique and seasonal ecosystems that inhabit the coastal desert. Even being one of the most important natural area of the district, they currently face challenges due to the rise in human activity.
Arpillería Workshop
Migrants and daughters of migrants to Pamplona Alta, San Juan de Miraflores, create works of arpillería—a colorful art which recreates iconic moments and gorgeous landscapes. Using cuts of recycled fabrics, the artisans of Pamplona Artex spread culture from the coast, sierra and jungle with a social consciousness.
"The most difficult and demanding part was the research and recreation of distinct countries of the world with their dress, characters, and costums."
Silvia Huamán, administrator
of Pamplona Artex
