This upcoming summer, MOCHE will be managing a Peruvian/American collaborative public health assessment in the middle valley to obtain demographic data about the residents of the area and to define opportunities for improvement. At that time, we will have more precise information about the populations of these towns.

The Middle Moche Valley is in the District (County) of Laredo. The city of Laredo is the seat. The District of Laredo is in the región (state) of La Libertad. The capital of La Libertad is Trujillo.
