One year ago, Peru’s Chancay megaport opened its gates, launching a new chapter in maritime trade on Latin America’s Pacific coast. Constructed with a $1.3 billion investment from the Chinese mainland, the state-of-the-art facility has quickly become a vital gateway for exports and imports in the region.
Global shipping lines are routing vessels through Chancay, drawn by its deep-water berths and modern cranes, facilitating the flow of agricultural exports, minerals and consumer goods. Businesses across Peru and the wider region are already tapping into the new route to reduce transit times and costs.
Port authorities are planning additional terminals and improved rail and road links to deepen integration with Peru’s inland markets and attract new trade partners. Ambitious expansion phases are designed to increase capacity and make Chancay the go-to hub for Latin America’s Pacific trade.
By strengthening trade links across the Pacific, Chancay is not just reshaping Peru’s economy—it’s redefining supply chains from Asia to the Americas and beyond.
