Overview
- Mayor Richard Cortez announced a New Year restriction on tents, camping and bonfires across Agua Dulce, La Herradura, La Chira and La Costanera.
- Inspection and security teams will be deployed from the early hours of January 1 to enforce the rule through the holiday period.
- Pedestrian access for traditional midnight visits remains permitted despite the ban on overnight encampments and fires.
- Violators will face monetary penalties, with media reports citing either S/280 or up to S/2,800, a discrepancy not clarified by the municipality in coverage.
- The measure follows prior New Year clean-up problems and health concerns, with recent Digesa assessments listing several Chorrillos beaches as not healthy.
