Chaclacayo District, Administrative district in Lima Province, Peru
Located 27 kilometers east of Lima along the Carretera Central, Chaclacayo spans across 39.5 square kilometers in the Rimac River Valley at 647 meters elevation.
Established on April 24, 1940, Chaclacayo developed from nine colonial estates that focused on agriculture, particularly cotton and fruit cultivation during the Spanish period.
The name derives from Aymara language terms 'chájlla' and 'kayo', meaning 'at the foot of carrizo', referencing the native plants along the Rimac River.
The central park area contains the municipal library, restaurants, bakeries, and shops, serving as the primary gathering location for the district's 47,000 residents.
The district includes several residential neighborhoods like La Floresta, Santa Rosa, and exclusive clubs such as El Cuadro and Los Cóndores within its boundaries.
