El Alamo, Huaycan
El Alamo, Huaycan - Lima
As far east as Lima extends, El Alamo is the furthest settlement of Zone Z in Huaycan - the last "squatted" barrio in Huaycan as the desolate foothills of the Andes begin to rise above. These pueblos jovenes or "young towns" are a result of a mass migration of Peruvians from the highlands especially, to the periphery of major cities - for a better life than the one they have left behind or as victims of terrorism during the 80's.
