Pueblos jóvenes
Pueblos jóvenes (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpweβlos ˈxoβenes] ⓘ, lit. 'young towns') is the term used for the shanty towns that surround Lima and other cities of Peru. Many of these towns have developed into districts of Lima such as Comas, Los Olivos and Villa El Salvador.
Population
Pueblos jóvenes were estimated to have over one million inhabitants in 1974. They were built on hillsides or beside rivers.[1] By 2008, it was estimated that tens of millions of Peruvians were squatting land.[2] Areas include Comas District, Los Olivos District and Villa El Salvador in Lima.[3][4]
The shanty town of Medalla Milagrosa is composed of migrants from all over Peru.
