[edit] General
The main access route is a highway emanating from La Molina District. The district is found in the valley of the Lurín river. In this river, until the 1980's, a large amount of shrimp could be found. The Lurín river valley is the only one of the three valleys of Lima (Rimac river valley - Chillón river valley - Lurín river valley, that has not been devastated by the unregulated and unplanned urban growth of Lima. In this sense, the valley in general and Cienguilla, in particular, still have wild areas, nature, and many more attractive landscapes.
