LITERATURE“Peru is for me (…) the corner of Diego Ferré and Colón, in Lima’s
Miraflores —we called it the Happy Neighborhood— where I exchanged short pants for long
trousers, smoked my first cigarette, learned to dance, fall in love, and open my heart to girls”.
Mario Vargas LlosaNobel Prize in Literature 2010,
Acceptance Speech

HISTORYThe Huaca Pucllana, a great adobe
and clay pyramid located in Miraflores, served as an important
ceremonial and administrative center for the advancement of the Lima
Culture, a society which developed in the Peruvian Central Coast between the years of 200 AD and 700 AD.

HISTORY
The Battle of Miraflores occured on January 15, 1881 in our district. It was an important battle during the War of the
Pacific that was fought between Chile and the forces of Peru. Although, the chilean forces finally invaded Lima, mirafloreans
battled with courage defending the city.
