Chilca (Punta Lobos) is a rocket launch site in Peru at 12°30′S 76°48′W, near the town of Chilca in the municipality of Pucusana, about 70 km south of the center of Lima. Chilca was in service from 1974 and was mainly used for launching Arcas and Nike sounding rockets. The Peruvian Paulet sounding rocket has been launching from here since 2006. In 2015 the Centro Nacional de Operaciones de Imágenes Satelitales (CNOIS) opened near the site.
