Peru , capital of theHuaura Province and capital of theLima Region . It is located 223 feet (67 metres) above sea level and 148 km north of the city ofLima . The city is located on thePan-American Highway , and close to theLomas de Lachay National Park so it has extensive vegetation and wildlife.Geography
Settled on the bottom of a wide bay, its climate is wet and appealing. In the surrounding areas there are
rice ,cotton ,sugarcane and differentgrain fields. This fact has allowed the rise of a rather important cotton industry, as well as cotton and oil factories. Within its natural landscape, itssalt mines and its beaches (such as El Paraíso ) are of great interest. Huacho was one of the main trade center north toLima .External links
