With the motto of “University of Peru, Dean of America”, the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) or Major National University of San Marcos is one of the famous Lima attractions. It is well known as one of the oldest universities in the world, being chartered by Royal Decree on May 12, 1551 and signed no less by Charles I of Spain. A lot of Peruvians consider the UNMSM as one of the most important and respected universities in the country because of the excellent faculty and renowned alumni. Also, the admission process is highly competitive and adding to that is its reputation as the leading center for scientific research in Peru.

Visiting the UNMSM is one of the things to do in Lima as one would be able to see the oldest official established university in the Americas. However, UNMSM being labeled as the oldest university in the Americas is highly contested. A lot of other universities claim to be the “Dean of America”, including the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo founded in 1538.
