Terminal Naranjal is the northern terminal of the Metropolitano bus system in Lima, Peru. Located in a disputed area[1] [2] of the district of Independencia, it is the northern end of the line for the system and its busiest station.[3] [4]

History

The name of the terminal (as well as its adjacent avenue and roundabout) comes from its location, a former sugarcane mill located on the site of an hacienda of the same name in lands owned by Conquistadors Francisco de Ampuero and Nicolás de Ribera since 1732.[5]
