Callao

Callao is a city and main seaport of Peru, situated just northwest of Lima and serving as the country’s principal maritime gateway. It is best known for handling Peru’s busiest cargo and container traffic and for its historic port facilities, including the Port of Callao and a major naval presence. It remains relevant in current news and public discourse due to ongoing considerations of port modernization, trade throughput, and regional security implications tied to maritime logistics.
