Why did many Peruvians move to Lima from the highlands?

Many Peruvians moved to Lima from the highlands due to a combination of factors, including economic opportunities, better access to education and healthcare, and the search for a higher quality of life. The highlands faced challenges such as poverty, limited job prospects, and environmental hardships, prompting migration to the capital. Lima, as the country's economic and political hub, offered more employment options and the allure of urban living. This rural-to-urban migration has significantly shaped Lima's Demographics and cultural landscape.
