It was August 20 and General Andrés de Santa Cruz, leader of the Peruvian-Bolivian confederate army, decreed the creation of the Province of Callao, granting it political autonomy in internal projects. This is how the history of the first port of Peru was born, full of history, flavor and color. In the streets of their districts, the neighbors treat everyone who visits them with great familiarity and affection. More than tourists, travelers become a citizen during their stay.
The music plays and you don't know if you're at a salsa concert or just strolling through the streets of the Chalaco districts (this is the official name of Callao), because world-class artists have performed on its sidewalks in gratitude to its people.
