The bay is separated from that of Lima by the Peninsula of La Punta. Due to its location, it is a place of great commercial and military importance because it is home to the country's main port and a navy base.[1][2] The bay is very rich ecologically speaking, which is why the Guano Islands, Islets, and Capes National Reserve System was created, in charge of taking care of the entire bay and the nearby islands.[3][4]
