Rímac River
The Rímac River is a significant waterway in Peru, flowing approximately 100 kilometers from the Andes mountains to the Pacific Ocean. It is the main river that runs through the capital city, Lima, and plays a crucial role in the region's water supply and agriculture.
The river is known for its historical importance, as it was vital to the Inca Empire and continues to be a source of water for millions of people. The Rímac also faces environmental challenges, including pollution and water management issues, which impact both the ecosystem and local communities.
