Chorrillos District, Coastal district in Lima, Peru

Located along the Pacific Ocean, Chorrillos District extends over 39 square kilometers and contains multiple beaches, natural reserves, and residential neighborhoods.

The district transformed from a pre-Columbian settlement called Armatambo into a fishing village, later becoming an official district of Lima in 1857.

The Morro Solar hill features an astronomical observatory, a memorial cross, and hosts annual celebrations dedicated to San Pedro, the patron saint of fishermen.

The district connects to central Lima through public transportation, including metro lines, and provides access to beaches, restaurants, and the Los Pantanos de Villa reserve.

The Los Pantanos de Villa wetlands within the district constitute a protected area where visitors can observe over 210 species of migratory birds.
