Quilmaná District, Administrative district in Cañete Province, Peru
Quilmaná is an administrative district in Cañete Province located at roughly 150 meters elevation in the Lima region. The area is shaped mainly by farming, with citrus orchards and cotton processing plants serving as the primary economic activities.
The district was officially established on September 15, 1944, becoming one of the sixteen administrative divisions of Cañete Province. Its creation reflected administrative reorganization efforts within the region during that period.
The farming community has long depended on citrus groves and cotton fields that shape the landscape here. This agricultural way of life runs deep in how locals see themselves and organize their daily routines.
Visitors can access municipal services at the district office on Avenida Lima 451, which operates during standard business hours. The area is primarily reached by roads connecting the villages and farming areas throughout the district.
Alongside citrus farming, the district operates extensive cotton processing plants that turn locally grown fiber into finished products. This combination of fruit cultivation and textile manufacturing in one area sets it apart economically.
