The Chimu civilization, which thrived in northern Peru from the 10th to the 15th centuries, primarily relied on a diet that included fish, shellfish, and other seafood due to their proximity to the ocean. They also cultivated crops such as maize, beans, sweet potatoes, and various local fruits and vegetables. Additionally, they raised llamas and alpacas for meat and wool. Their diet was diverse and adapted to their coastal environment and agricultural practices.
