The objective of this article is to identify the extent of integration of Portuguese residents in Lima between 1571 and 1680 through the analysis of the links they created with the confraternities and brotherhoods of the city. There were no national associations in Colonial Lima that would have exclusively accommodated the Portuguese immigrants, as there had been in Early Modern Spain. The Portuguese therefore chose other diverse institutions -some of Spanish foundation-, revealing a sense of openness of this foreign group toward their adopted land.
