Sechura Province, Administrative province in northern Peru
Sechura is a province in northern Peru that stretches along the Pacific coast and includes several districts and fishing communities. The territory is connected by coastal highways and has the city of Sechura as its administrative center.
The territory was officially established on December 23, 1993, to improve the management of the northern Peruvian coastal region. This founding was part of larger restructuring efforts throughout the country.
People here maintain strong connections to the ocean through fishing and local cooking that centers on seafood. These maritime traditions shape daily life and are celebrated at local gatherings.
The best time to visit is during drier months when weather is better for exploring. The province is easy to reach by car rental or buses, and the coastal route provides access to various communities.
A striking aspect is where the Sechura Desert meets the Pacific Ocean, with sand dunes directly reaching the coastal waters. This unusual landscape creates a distinctive environment for observing nature and understanding how people have adapted to such conditions.
