Callao is the largest and most important port in
Peru. The city is coterminous with the Constitutional Province of
Callao, the only province of the Callao Region. Callao is located
west of Lima, the country's capital, and is part of the Lima
Metropolitan Area, a large metropolis that holds almost one-third of
Peru's population. Callao borders Lima Province on the north, east
and south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west.
Callao is built on and around a peninsula, the district of La Punta,
a wealthy residential neighborhood. An historical fortress, the
Castillo de Real Felipe (site of "Rodil's Last Stand"), stands on
the promontory overlooking the harbor.
Lima's Jorge Chávez International Airport is located in Callao.
Callao has several islands: San Lorenzo (currently a military base),
El Frontón (a former high security prison), the Cavinzas, and the
Palominos, where numerous sea lions and sea birds live in a
virtually untouched ecosystem. There are proposed plans to build a
huge naval, terrestrial, and air port on San Lorenzo Island. This
project is called the San Lorenzo Megaport Project.
You can enjoy a beautiful view from this important
fortress
