Chiclayo Maps and Orientation
(Chiclayo, Lambayeque, Peru, PE)



The city of Chiclayo has long been the capital of Peru's expansive Lambayeque region and lies alongside the country's north-westerly coast, being just over 10 km / 6 miles inland from the actual South Pacific Ocean. Founded in the 16th century, when it was known as the Santa Maria de los Valles de Chiclayo, the city remains a particularly important and large urban region of Peru, with an overall population approaching 600,000 people.

Chiclayo has become nothing short of a bustling metropolis and leading centre of commerce, being home to the Capitán FAP José A. Quinones Gonzales International Airport. The city is divided into the municipalities of José Leonardo Ortiz, La Victoria, Pimentel, Pomalca and also Reque.
