Borja, Peru

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Borja is a city in Departamento de Loreta, Peru. It was founded in 1634, in homage to the viceroy of Peru from whom his power was coming, institutionally, turning her into base of support for his incursions and conquests of a series of forest nations until 1640, in which it started diminishing the Spanish presence due to the opposition of the forest nations and the systematical invasions of the Portuguese that it derived in an endemic evil in the 17th and 18th centuries.
