Infrastructure and service investments in Peru and Chile
Overview
Infrastructure development in Peru and Chile continues to focus on education, healthcare, and tourism, alongside significant maritime and transport expansions. In Peru, the National Infrastructure Authority (ANIN) is advancing hospital projects in the Ancash region, while recent efforts include constructing contingency infrastructure for the Colquemarca Health Center in Cusco to serve 10,500 residents.
Educational infrastructure faces mixed outcomes. While Lambayeque approved the modernization of the Perú Birf Polytechnic Institute, parents in Moquegua have announced a hunger strike to protest construction delays for the Manuel Camilo de la Torre school. In Huánuco, the Illathupa school project faces rectification of nearly 2,000 deficiencies.
Road and regional connectivity remain priorities. In the Ica region, Peru's Ministry of Transport and Communications is coordinating with local officials to improve and expand the Panamericana Sur highway, specifically the Guadalupe–Ica–Ocucaje detour section. Officials are also addressing vulnerable points on the highway susceptible to heavy rains from the El Niño phenomenon. Additionally, the ministry is seeking to meet with the Vía Los Libertadores concessionaire to discuss accelerating project execution.
Maritime connectivity in Peru is strengthening. Senace has approved a technical report for the US$ 6 million San Juan de Marcona Port Terminal project, which includes new conveyor belts, a transfer tower, and entry control booths. Significant interest also surrounds the proposed €780 million Corio Port in Arequipa and the US$ 767–800 million ‘Puerta del Pacífico’ development in Callao. In Chile, Osorno is introducing a new urban transport system, and Limache is expanding its primary care emergency services.
