Lima is the capital and largest city of Peru, as well as a primate city. It is located in the valleys of the Chill??n, R??mac and Lur??n Rivers, in the desert zone of the central coastal part of the country, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The city is considered the political, cultural, financial and commercial center of Peru. Due to its geostrategic importance, the Globalization and World Cities Research Network has categorized it as a "beta" tier city. Jurisdictionally, the metropolis extends mainly within the province of Lima and in a smaller portion, to the west, within the Constitutional Province of Callao, where the seaport and the Jorge Ch??vez Airport are located. Both provinces have had regional autonomy since 2002.
