Lince is a small district of Lima sandwiched between the district of Lima and San Isidro. Most of us will only drive through Lince on Av. Arequipa on our way from Miraflores to the city center. Lince can't be regarded as a popular tourism district or a historical valuable zone.

 Although not commonly known it possesses a great concentration of Art Deco architecture. Many of these Art Deco buildings in Lince including residences, schools and businesses are well maintained and have endured little modifications from their original design in the late 1930s.
