Located at 15 kilometers of Piura. Has a predominantly farming and crafts economy, cotton textiles are prized in the country and abroad for their fine texture and long fibers. This town built its economy on its industry and railroad, on locust-wood furniture and fine straw hats, and on its gold and silver filigree work. Its craftsmen have an uncanny knack for making fine jewelry in gold and silver filigree (fine threads of the metal), their hardwood crafts (hualtaco), are also amazingly of perfect design.
