Limón Dam, Embankment dam in Pomahuaca District, Peru
The Limón Dam stretches 320 meters across the Huancabamba River, reaching a height of 43 meters with a reservoir capacity of 44 million cubic meters.
Construction of the dam began in 2006 following decades of planning that originated in 1924 with initial proposals to divert the Huancabamba River.
The dam forms part of the Olmos Transandino Project, transforming agricultural practices for communities across 43,500 hectares of previously arid farmland.
Visitors can reach observation points near the dam structure, while local authorities maintain strict security protocols to protect this essential water infrastructure.
A 20-kilometer tunnel through the Andes Mountains connects the dam to the Pacific side, enabling water transfer from the Amazon basin.
