Peninsula of La Punta

It is the point that separates the bays of Miraflores and Callao, both part of the territorial waters of Peru.

The peninsula has an extension of 2 kilometres and is located entirely within the District of La Punta.

Likewise, the peninsula is divided into two banks: the north, called Cantolao, where the waters are calm, and the south, called Mar Brava, because of the turbulent waters.

[1] Its location makes it the closest continental area to the San Lorenzo and El Frontón islands, just 5 kilometres away.

[2] Within the peninsula is the 3 kilometre Chucuito area, halfway between the peninsula itself and the Real Felipe Fortress, famous for its beaches that are divided between Chucuito and Carpayo.
