Video Footage of Lima, Peru in 1944

Posted by Marco Antonio Mendoza Friday, December 11, 2009

Surfing the internet the other day I came across some pretty cool videos on YouTube.  As an amatuer photographer living in Peru I have had the opportunity to scour and explore a large portion of Lima and I am always amazed by all the old structures that still remain to this day.  Lima is definately an old city and has a lot of history that is still available to it's citizens and tourists, which is why I was so excited to find a video that was put together by the US government in 1944 and is a documentary on the City of Kings (Lima).  

The video is a fun to watch for those who have always wondered what Lima looked like years ago before the formation of all the "pueblos jovenes".  Having watched the video it is fairly evident how quickly the city of Lima has grown and how much it continues to grow as a large population of Peru's people continue to migrate to the capital. 

Here is the videos below enjoy.
