Plaza de toros de Acho is a historic bullring in Lima's Rímac district, inaugurated in 1766, making it the oldest in the Americas. Its colonial architecture and sandy arena have hosted bullfights for over two centuries. The bullring also houses a small museum dedicated to bullfighting history. While controversial, the site remains a significant cultural landmark. Visitors can tour the arena and museum to learn about its history and architecture, including the iconic wooden balconies and the chapel where matadors pray before fights.
