Chulucanas is a town in Morropón Province, Piura Region, Peru.[2] It lies in the Piura Valley just north of the confluence of the Charanal River[3] with the Piura River.[4] Chulucanas is the administrative seat for both Chulucanas District and Morropón Province.
The town is famous for its pottery. Originally dating from pre-Inca times it is today exported all over the world.[5] It is one of seven products that the Peruvian government supports through its Center for Technological Innovation (CITE).[6] Designs are varied, but are predominated by black and white. There are several bigger companies but a lot of small manufactures are in Chulucanas itself and in the nearby village of Quatro Esquinas.
A major festival for the town is the Fiesta de Cristo Resucitad at Easter.[7]
Operating in Chulucanas is Victor's Vision, a nonprofit organization which provides supplemental academic and personal support, guidance, and resources to bright, impoverished youth.[8]
