Ancón is a coastal district located in the northern part of Lima Metropolitan Area, Peru. This historic seaside town, situated approximately 42 kilometers north of Lima's city center, has been an important settlement since pre-Columbian times.

The area is particularly significant for its archaeological heritage, with the Necropolis of Ancón being one of the most important archaeological sites in the region. This ancient burial ground has yielded numerous artifacts that provide insights into the pre-Inca cultures that inhabited the area, particularly the Lima and Chancay cultures.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Ancón developed as a popular beach resort for Lima's elite, and many of its republican-era architecture still stands today. The town continues to be known for its beaches, fishing port, and its contribution to Peru's cultural heritage through its archaeological findings.
