Ancón District, Beach resort district in northern Lima Province, Peru
The Ancón district spans 299 square kilometers of coastal area, featuring both modern buildings and nineteenth-century houses along its waterfront.
The Treaty of Ancón, signed on October 20, 1883, marked the end of the War of the Pacific by establishing new territorial boundaries between Peru and Chile.
Archaeological excavations in Ancón revealed decorated mummies adorned with beads, copper earrings, and bird feathers from pre-Inca indigenous civilizations.
The district's administrative center sits 3 meters above sea level, with the beach area remaining a frequent destination for Lima residents during summer months.
The Islas of Ancón hosts large colonies of seabirds and fifty sea lions, making it an important wildlife observation point from September to March.
