Chorrillos District

Chorrillos (Spanish for "trickle of water"), founded as San Pedro de los Chorrillos, is a district of Lima Province in Lima, Peru. A middle-income residential district, it is located next to the Pacific Ocean and forms part of the city's area known as the Costa Verde, which is home to a number of beaches, as well as private clubs and the country's national military school.

It was founded as a deluxe beach resort in 1824, becoming a town in 1856. In 1881, during the War of the Pacific, it was destroyed and looted by the invading Chilean Army, after which it was rebuilt and incorporated into the city of Lima as it grew during the 20th century. The district's current mayor is Fernando Velasco Huamán.
