Chimbote
Peru
Peru's largest fishing port after Callao, Chimbote sits on Ferrol Bay in the Ancash Region and has built a seafood-focused food scene around its catch — ceviche and the local causa chimbotana are the dishes to seek out. The city centre has a walkable concentration of cafés and restaurants, and the bay and Pacific coast are within easy reach on foot. Chimbote also serves as a transit point for the Santa River valley and the wider Peruvian north coast.
