A coastal city on a Pacific bay in Peru, Huacho sits roughly midway up the Lima Region and serves as its regional capital, with a food-and-drink scene concentrated in a walkable centre. The nearby Lachay National Reserve adds wildlife and vegetation to the surrounding landscape, and the city lies close to the mouth of the Huaura River.
