Chulucanas District, Administrative district in Morropón Province, Peru
Chulucanas District is an administrative region in Morropón Province in northern Peru. The area encompasses varied landscapes and is home to the city of Chulucanas, which serves as its administrative center.
The district was officially established in 1937 and gained its administrative independence. A year earlier, the city had been named the administrative seat of the province, reflecting its growing importance in the region.
The region is known for its traditional pottery craft, kept alive by artisans working in local workshops. Visitors can watch potters apply their techniques daily and sell their creations on site.
The best time to visit is during the dry season when roads are more accessible. It is wise to wear light clothing and bring plenty of water, as the area can be hot and arid.
The area receives little rainfall, which has shaped agriculture and daily life for residents. This dry condition has made local communities creative in how they use resources and conserve water.
