Pacasmayo is a city and port on the

northern coast of the La Libertad. It

is located about 100 km north of
Trujillo, approximately at km 681 of
the Panamericana Norte, on the
shores of the Pacific Ocean. The
city has an estimated population of
27 514 habitants. The economic
activities are summarized to the
artisanal, fishing of species such as
bonito, suckers, tramboyos,
mojarras, tollos, pejerreyes, etc., as
well as molluscs and crustaceans:
octopus, squid, pots, shells, clams,
choros, crabs, etc. The presence of
the 2nd largest Cementery in the
country: CP Cementos Pacasmayo
S.A. contribute to the economic
movement of the population in
general, not only of the Province but
of much of northern Peru. The
Agroindustry is taking a lot of time in
the occupation of arid zones and
eriazas gradually transforming them
into rich and productive lands.

On the other hand, its tourist

attractions are: El Malecon Grau, El
Muelle de Pacasmayo, The Old
Railway Station and El Faro beach
has become the main attraction for
those who seek to practice sports in
the sea.

Personally, I recommend visiting

this place, because its beach is
really nice.
