Chimbote

Chimbote, population about 300,000, is the biggest fishing port in Peru. It is a modern, busy industrial town; most industry is related with fish. Although there is hardly a historical town centre, there are some elegant boulevards. Note the futuristic church, with a magnificent view over the bay. Offshore is the Isla Blanca, a bird reservation.
