La Molina is one of the forty-three districts that make up the province of Lima, located in the department of the same name, in Peru.
La Molina is located between 12° 00' 07" S, 76° 57' 00" and 76° 51' 00" W. It limits to the north, with the Ate Vitarte district, through Bucaramanga Street, and the Puruchuco and Candela hills.
Then, to the northeast, with the district of Pachacámac, through a line that crosses the summit of Cerro Candela and the El Rincón de La Planicie urbanization.
Then, to the west, with the district of Santiago de Surco, through the Centinela, La Molina, Gallinacera hills, the Circunvalación del Golf Los Incas and Javier Prado Este avenues, the La Floresta jirón and the Stella Maris park.
And finally, to the northwest, again with the district of Ate Vitarte, through the Evitamiento road, and the Separadora Industrial and Huarochirí avenues.
In the years before its creation, the estates located in the geographic area of the district (Granados, Melgarejo, La Rinconada, Camacho and La Molina) had been already sold (or expropriated by the Juan Velasco Alvarado administration) and divided, giving origin to smaller yet large properties.
Soon, due to the quiet and beautiful surroundings, owning country houses in La Molina became a trend for high class people.
It is estimated that La Molina has a total of twelve human settlements or popular areas, and that half of this population cannot be considered vulnerable; since, a large part of them, according to their income per household capital, belong to a medium and medium-low socioeconomic level.
Perhaps an example of a vulnerable sector in the district is the San Juan Bautista human settlement, located on the Musa hill.
Due to their relative safety, calm and low population density, these suburbs are highly valued real estate.
Currently, the houses and apartments are more expensive than before, and today, their neighbors are descendants of the founding workers of the urbanization and it has improved a lot.

On the other hand, on routes that pass through La Molina avenue towards Musa, public transport is usually massive; Because many cousters, combis or buses head towards Cieneguilla or Manchay, Pachacámac district.
On this route to Musa, the red corridor service 204 also operates, which passes through the last sections of La Molina Avenue.
The fluid traffic ends until reaching the Municipal Depot or the La Molina Arena, border with the district of Pachacámac.
One of the reasons why transportation is complicated in the morning and at night is due to the immense number of passengers coming from the Ate district.
On the other hand, lines 206 and 209, upon reaching the intersection of Javier Prado and La Molina avenues, take different routes.
