geocode from the ggmap package will do the trick:

library(ggmap)
locs <- c('Jiron Cuzco 423, Magdalena del Mar', 'Av Nicolas Arriola 500, La Victoria')
geocode(locs)

Output:

        lon      lat
1 -77.07008 -12.0894
2 -77.01523 -12.0856

Seems to be a problem with the acute accents. I edited the locations, should work now – Val Jun 14 '17 at 07:15
