La Punta, Coastal district in Callao, Peru

La Punta extends into the Pacific Ocean as a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, forming the westernmost point of Callao Province.

The district, formally established in 1915, developed from a settlement of Italian immigrants who constructed numerous residential buildings during the 19th century.

Three rowing clubs operate in the district, maintaining maritime traditions through regular competitions and training programs for local youth.

The district connects to central Callao and Lima through Avenida Almirante Grau and Coronel Bolognesi, with regular public transportation services.

An early warning system monitors seismic activity and potential tsunamis, providing critical alerts to the 3,392 residents of this 0.38 square kilometer district.
