Huacho District, Administrative district in Huaura Province, Peru.
Huacho District is an administrative district in Huaura Province on Peru's northern coast. The territory spreads across flat terrain near the Pacific with several coastal settlements and agricultural areas.
The area was originally an indigenous settlement that received its official name in 1571 as part of Spanish colonial administration. This establishment marked the beginning of a new administrative structure in the region.
The area holds remains from pre-colonial times that show how early inhabitants lived and organized themselves. You can see traces of settlements that existed long before Spanish arrival.
The area sits in a time zone that aligns with other coastal regions of Peru. Visitors should prepare for flat terrain and proximity to the ocean when exploring the district.
The Bandurria archaeological site shows that people lived and fished here in very ancient times. These locations rank among the oldest coastal settlements of South America.
