Balcón de Huaura, Colonial balcony and war museum in Huaura, Peru
Located in a former Royal Customs building, the Balcón de Huaura features traditional architecture with thatch, mud, and Nicaraguan wood elements.
General José de San Martín declared Peru's independence from this balcony on November 27, 1820, establishing his headquarters in this strategic location.
The museum displays eight permanent exhibition rooms containing archaeological treasures, historical weapons, period furniture, and San Martín's flag.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering guided tours, a library, storage facilities, and parking services.
The building maintains a dual ownership structure, with the museum under municipal control while the balcony belongs to the Peruvian government.
