Víctor Larco Herrera District

Víctor Larco Herrera District is a coastal neighborhood in Trujillo province that stretches along the Pacific shoreline with mixed residential and commercial areas. The district sits at a low elevation above sea level and forms part of the broader urban landscape of the region.

The district was originally called Buenos Aires before being renamed in 1945 to honor a prominent philanthropist who contributed greatly to the development of Trujillo. This change in name reflected the community's recognition of influential figures in the region's growth.

The Santiago de Huaman Church serves as a focal point for the community's religious life, where residents gather for celebrations and worship throughout the year. Local Catholic traditions remain woven into the rhythm of daily life in the neighborhood.

The district has several healthcare facilities including a health center and hospital that provide medical services to residents and visitors. Key services are accessible on foot or by local public transportation.

The district developed as a residential area for more affluent residents and retained this character through its infrastructure and available services over time. This background helps explain the neighborhood's current composition and amenities today.
