City that's northwest of Cuzco ... or a city that's northwest of Columbus (4)

I believe the answer is:

lima

(Other definitions for lima that I've seen before include "South American capital" , "Mail it to Peruvian city" , "Mail to capital of Peru" , "Send mail out to S America" , "Mail to Peru's capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
