Hornillos Point

Punta Hornillos is a rocky projection on the Pacific coast of southern Peru, near Quilca in the region of Camaná. The headland stands where the dry coastal slopes meet waters influenced by the cold Humboldt Current. Fish and seabirds thrive in the productive sea, while the shore is broken by small bays and other rocky points. The coast formed part of a maritime landscape used by fishing communities long before European ships arrived.
