Peru’s economy is riding high in 2025 with a projected 4% growth, outpacing global averages—and the new Chinese-built Chancay megaport is at the center of this success story. Opened in late 2024, the port has transformed Peru into a key trade hub linking South America to Asia, unlocking fresh opportunities for exports ranging from minerals to avocados.
Analysts say the $3.5 billion project, backed by Chinese investment, has slashed shipping times to China by 10 days, turbocharging Peru’s copper and agricultural sectors. 'This isn’t just a port; it’s a gateway,' said Lima-based journalist Dan Collyns, highlighting how it positions Peru as a bridge between continents. With global supply chains shifting, the port is already attracting international logistics giants—and putting Peru on the radar of young entrepreneurs and investors worldwide.
