The Chicama River is located in northern Peru and is known for its unique characteristics. It flows through the Andes Mountains and eventually empties into the Pacific Ocean. The river is approximately 200 kilometers long and is one of the longest rivers in the region. The Chicama River is significant for its role in agriculture, providing water for irrigation in the surrounding valleys. Its basin supports various ecosystems and is home to diverse wildlife. The river also attracts tourists, particularly surfers, due to the nearby Chicama Beach, famous for having some of the longest left-hand waves in the world.
