 Afro-Peruvians also reside in the northern regions of Peru such as La Libertad and Ancash, but the larger populations are concentrated in the northern valley plantations of the regions of Piura and Lambayeque.Most Afro-Peruvian communities live in rural farming areas where mango, rice, and sugarcane production is present.Contrary to the southern coast, these communities are mainly found away from the coastal shores and into the region of the "yungas", where the plain meets the Andes.
