Chilca District, Administrative district in Cañete Province, Peru

Chilca District is an administrative division in Cañete Province along Peru's Pacific coast. The area spreads across low-lying coastal plains with settlements, farmland, and port facilities integrated throughout its territory.

Multiple prehistoric cultures left traces in this region, with archaeological remains discovered near the Chilca River. These findings point to early human settlement and development along Peru's southern coast.

The district maintains traditional agricultural practices while integrating modern industrial developments along the Pacific coastal region.

The area is reachable through a road network connecting the coastal zone with distant regions. The best time to explore is during warmer months when weather conditions are most favorable.

The district spans from sea level to inland territories, encompassing both maritime zones and agricultural lands within its boundaries.
