The
Chillón River is a
river located in western
Peru. Its waters are produced by the melting of ice in the
glaciers of the
Andes, and its mouth is located in the
Pacific Ocean coast of the
Callao Region. Its volume gets higher during the summer months (December to March). The river's
valley is very fertile. It has been inhabited by varying
indigenous cultures for more than ten thousand years, as shown by
archeological evidence.
