Callao's Essential Discoveries

Callao serves as Peru’s primary maritime gateway, anchored by the 18th-century Real Felipe Fortress and the BAP Abtao submarine museum. The region preserves ancient history at the Preceramic site of El Paraíso and the Huaca San Marcos adobe pyramid. Modern culture thrives in the Monumental Callao district, known for its street art and galleries, while the Muelle del Callao and Malecón provide access to the Pacific coast. The area also hosts Jorge Chávez International Airport and the expansive Parque de las Leyendas zoo.
