The Port of Chancay is a new deep-water terminal on Peru's central coast, roughly 75-80 km north of Lima. Designed to handle large container and multipurpose vessels, the port aims to ease congestion in Callao and strengthen Peru's connectivity with Asia and the Pacific. As operations scale up, demand for nearby accommodation is growing among maritime crews, logistics teams, contractors, and business visitors.
