Pacasmayo is located on a large bay. It has a beach of stone and sand, and also has a nice seafront with old houses. Near Pacasmayo, in the bay, there is lighthouse Known as “El Faro”. It lights the sea in the night and guides small fishing boats and ships. Near “El Faro” people love to go surfing and also practice windsurfing. Pacasmayo is a warm coastal town where the easterly wind blows all the time.

In Pacasmayo there is an old pier. It was built in the nineteenth century circa 1860. During this time, Pacasmayo was an important seaport. When it was built, its length was one thousand five hundred meters. But in the 1920’s a big wave cut the pier in half.

Pacasmayo had a nice train system which transported agricultural products from other outlying towns into Pacasmayo in order to export them by sea. It was also used to transport people. The arrival of the Panamerican road greatly affected this business and the train station was forced to close. (more…)
