Sechura Province

Sechura Province extends over 6,369 square kilometers along the Pacific Ocean coast, containing six districts and numerous fishing communities.

The province, officially established on December 23, 1993, emerged from territorial reorganization efforts to better manage the northern Peruvian coastal region.

Local communities maintain strong maritime traditions through fishing practices, seafood gastronomy, and seasonal festivals celebrating ocean resources.

The province connects to major regional centers through a network of coastal highways, with the city of Sechura serving as its administrative capital.

The territory encompasses sections of the Sechura Desert, where sand dunes meet the Pacific Ocean, creating distinct geographical formations.
