Centro Comercial Caminos del Inca, formerly known as Fashion Mall Caminos del Inca, is a shopping centre located between Caminos del Inca Avenue and Monterrey Street in Chacarilla del Estanque, Lima, Peru. Named after the adjacent avenue, it is the first such establishment of Santiago de Surco.[1]

History

[edit]

Following the urbanisation of the Chacarilla del Estanque hacienda in the 1970s, the Izaga family, who had sold the terrain, built a shopping centre to promote new housing projects.[2] It opened in 1988,[2][3][4] originally known as Fashion Mall Caminos del Inca.[5] The new establishment replaced a convent originally destined to become a hospital, and was expanded in 2001.[6]

In 2011, a grey Peugeot fell from the fourth floor's car park, falling into the mall's interior, with only the driver injured.[7][8][9]

On March 18, 2019, the mall's movie theatre, UVK Multicines, shut down its operations after almost 20 years,[10] being replaced by rival chain Cineplanet,[11] who eventually closed without explanation in February 2025.[12]

On April 22, 2025, the mall was temporarily closed due to mechanical failures regarding its elevators and escalators.[1][13][14]
