Virú Province, Administrative province in La Libertad, Peru
The province extends over 3,218 square kilometers across three districts: Chao, Guadalupito, and Virú, with fertile valleys and Pacific coastal areas.
The name Virú derives from a Muchik language term referring to agricultural variety, and in 1530 it was an independent kingdom before Inca conquest.
The annual Plum Fair in April brings together local farmers, artisans, and visitors to celebrate the agricultural heritage of the province.
Located 48 kilometers south of Trujillo city, Virú Province maintains consistent temperatures between 18 and 26 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The province benefits from three river systems - Virú, Chao, and Santa - enabling year-round agricultural production of artichokes, peppers, and asparagus.
