Overview
Centro Comercial Caminos del Inca is a shopping centre in Chacarilla del Estanque, in the Santiago de Surco district of Lima, Peru. The centre occupies a site between Caminos del Inca Avenue and Monterrey Street and takes its name from the adjacent avenue. It is regarded as the first shopping centre established in Santiago de Surco. The development emerged from the urbanisation of the former Chacarilla del Estanque hacienda during the 1970s. The Izaga family, which had sold the land, subsequently developed a shopping centre intended to support the surrounding housing projects. The project replaced a convent site that had originally been intended for conversion into a hospital. When it opened in 1988, it operated under the name Fashion Mall Caminos del Inca. The centre became part of the retail infrastructure serving the expanding residential communities of southern and southeastern Lima. Its tenant mix has included fashion, footwear, entertainment, restaurants, food service, music and consumer-service businesses. Historical tenants and occupants have included TACA Airlines, Pizza Nova, Soho Style, Do It, Dunkelvolk, Green Is Better, Koketa, Phantom, Renzo Costa, McDonald's, Rip Curl and UVK Multicines, among others. Tenant composition has changed over time, and the available reference material does not establish a complete current directory. The property was expanded in 2001. Its history has also included several operational incidents and changes in entertainment offerings. In 2011, a Peugeot fell from the fourth-floor parking area into the interior of the mall; the driver was injured, while the available account does not report additional injuries. The UVK Multicines cinema operation closed on March 18, 2019, after almost two decades at the centre. Cineplanet subsequently replaced it, but that cinema later closed in February 2025 for reasons not explained in the cited reference material. On April 22, 2025, the shopping centre was temporarily closed because of mechanical problems involving its elevators and escalators. The available material does not specify the duration of the closure, the responsible party, or the subsequent remediation. The centre is therefore best understood as a local, multi-tenant shopping destination whose identity is closely connected to the development of Chacarilla del Estanque and the retail growth of Santiago de Surco.
History
Caminos del Inca Shopping Centre was developed in the context of the urbanisation of Chacarilla del Estanque, a former hacienda whose land began to be transformed for housing during the 1970s. The Izaga family, associated with the sale of the terrain, built the shopping centre as part of an effort to support and serve the new residential projects developing around the site. The property occupies a location between Caminos del Inca Avenue and Monterrey Street in Santiago de Surco, Lima. Before the shopping centre was built, the site contained a convent that had been designated for a hospital project. The retail development opened in 1988 under the name Fashion Mall Caminos del Inca. It became the first shopping centre in Santiago de Surco and was named after the nearby avenue. Over time, the centre functioned as a mixed retail and service destination. Its historical occupants included clothing and footwear retailers, restaurants, food outlets, a music store, a bank or travel-related service represented by TACA Airlines, and entertainment operators. The cited material identifies former tenants such as Pizza Nova, Soho Style, Do It, Dunkelvolk, Green Is Better, Koketa, Phantom, Renzo Costa, McDonald's, Rip Curl and UVK Multicines. This list is historical rather than a confirmed current tenant directory. The centre underwent an expansion in 2001. Its subsequent history included both routine changes in tenant composition and several notable operational events. In 2011, a grey Peugeot fell from the fourth-floor parking area into the interior of the mall. The available account states that only the driver was injured. Cinema operations changed significantly in the following decade. UVK Multicines ended its nearly twenty-year presence at the site on March 18, 2019. Cineplanet replaced the operator, but the Cineplanet location later closed in February 2025 without a stated explanation in the available reference. On April 22, 2025, the centre was temporarily closed because of mechanical failures involving elevators and escalators. The reference material does not provide details about the repair process, the length of the closure, or any ownership or management response. Accordingly, the documented history establishes the centre's origin, expansion, principal historical role and selected operational events, but does not provide enough information to describe its present tenant roster, management structure or financial performance.
