"Chota, heroic land of AKunta and cradle of Peru's farming community patrols, celebrates its 470th anniversary," Mr. Castillo expressed on his official Twitter account.
"I convey my affectionate greetings to Chota citizens because, on a day like today in 1552, the Spanish foundation of this beloved city under the name of 'All Saints' was held," he highlighted.
The Head of State was born in the town of Puña belonging to Tacabamba district, Chota province.
