Mochumi District

Mochumi District is an administrative region in Lambayeque Province in northern Peru covering approximately 104 square kilometers of land. The terrain sits at low elevation with flat coastal landscapes that define the local geography.

This district was established as one of twelve administrative divisions within Lambayeque Province to handle local governance. The territorial organization emerged from the need to structure regional administration and resource management effectively.

Farming connects the people of this district to the land and shapes how they work and interact with their surroundings. The agricultural tradition runs deep in daily life and binds the community together.

Visitors will find basic services and administrative facilities distributed across settlements, particularly around the Maravillas area. The best time to explore is during drier months when road conditions are more manageable.

The population concentration of about 180 people per square kilometer makes it a relatively dense area for the northern coastal zone. This clustering of residents creates tight-knit community bonds in this rural setting.
