LimaHuaca: Urban Expeditions Metropolitan System

Reimagining Lima’s landscape as an urban expedition, blending active mobility and cultural tourism to reshape identity and urban narratives. Through a signage program and mobile app, the experiential system enhances navigation, fosters place attachment, and raises awareness of the city’s heritage. More than wayfinding, it’s a call for the holistic revaluation of Lima’s urban legacy in the 21st century.
