Drone view of Barrio Villa Maria del Triunfo. Invasions of Lima’s urban areas have
several stages. In the first, people illegally occupy land by setting up camping tents. After the first
few weeks have passed, if they are not cleared by the police, they start building wooden houses.
You can see from the photo that this invasion has been going on for at least 5 years, as people
have invested money to optimise their homes.
