The geography of the department of Lima is interesting and is characterized by being the most Andean of those of the coast, since the Andes arrive until the shore of the sea, in great altitudes. The Cerro de Pasamayo reaches almost 1,000 meters of altitude, almost vertically over the Pacific Ocean. The Andes rise gigantic at less than 20 or 30 km. of the sea and its valleys in the form of inclined triangular planes, with the cusp embedded in the Andes, barely extend up to 40 km in very few places.

Lima has several torrential rivers, including Huaura, Pativilca, Chillón, Cañete and Rímac, the latter with a 160 km course, formed by the union of Santa Eulalia near Chosica.

This department is one of those that count on its coast with an appreciable number of islands, islets and reefs. The Island of San Lorenzo is the largest and most extensive of the Pacific Islands of Peru. Numerous islands, such as those of Pachacamac, Asia and El Frontón, are also important deposits of guano.
