Mario
Vargas Llosa’s Lima
Lima
is known for its architecture, history and cuisine, but now
Peru’s capital wants to be known as the scenario where
several of the Mario Vargas Llosa’s literary works have
developed and where his characters have lived, loved and died. This new
initiative will guide the literary tourists throughout a route inspired
by the geography of the literary works by Mario Vargas Llosa.
The
idea, carried out by the state Promperu (Commission on the Promotion of
Peru for Export and Tourism) has allowed the publication of a guide
called "La Lima de Mario Vargas Llosa."
