about Chimbote

Chimbote is the largest city of the Ancash departament (province) in Peru. Chimbote is located south of Trujillo, north of Lima, located on the coast in Chimbote Bay.

It is the largest fishing port in Peru. Chimbote has more than 30 fish factories, and has some of the world’s finest fish-packing equipment. In the 1970’s El Niño, an earthquake, and overfishing drastically affected the fishing, and added restrictions. However, more than 75 percent of Peru’s fishing activity comes from Chimbote. The Chimbote-Huallanca rail line, built in 1922, serves as a rail way for coal and iron mines on the interior and a rail way for the river valley by transporting rice, cotton, sugarcane, and bananas. Population is about 314,700 people.

Peru's current president, Alejandro Toledo, grew up there.

The city is known for its thick haze and the smell of the fish-processing plants.
