Tourism or Religion?

It is rather typical of the biased Western approach - and anglo-saxon in particular - that all the religious buildings are presented under the section 'Tourism', that is : places to be visited. Please do remember and keep in mind that those churches, convents and monasteries are first of all places of worship and of other religious activities of the Christians of Lima and Peru. In this long article there is not even a section 'Religion' but under the section 'Tourism', the large majority of touristic places are in fact religious buildings. This bias is plaguing quite a few similar articles.--Zerged (talk) 04:36, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

This Westerner agrees with you that the absence of a religion section is surprising. You could begin to create one yourself. HiLo48 (talk) 04:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

Ciudad de los reyes

The article says the city was named after the 3 wise kings, but I’ve found a link stating that the name comes from King Charles I and his mother Queen Juana:

If that is the case, the proper translation on Ciudad de los Reyes would be city of the king and queen, as Reyes is both the plural of king and royal couple. Jorgebox4 (talk) 08:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
