Chiclín is a small town located in northern Peru. It is part of the Chicama District in the Ascope Province, within the La Libertad area. This town is found right next to the Pan-American Highway. It is about 35 kilometers (22 miles) north of the city of Trujillo. Chiclín is nestled in the Chicama Valley, which is a rich farming area.
History of Chiclín
At the beginning of the 1900s, a person named Rafael Larco Herrera had a big dream. He wanted to turn the Chiclín farm, known as a hacienda, into a perfect place. He imagined it as a community where everything worked well for everyone.
This special project involved the local community. The Alfonso Ugarte de Chiclín Football Club also played a part in the town's history and development during this time.
