Jesús María has many advantages that Lima and its neighbors can enjoy. Important highways of the city of Lima cross the Jesús María district. Among them we have Salaverry, San Felipe, Brasil, Arenales, 28 de Julio and Faustino Sánchiez Carrión avenues (previously Pershing), which serve as dividing lines for neighboring districts. Therefore, the people who live in the district have, through these routes, wide access to their work and educational centers.
