Tumbes Mangrove National Sanctuary
Just minutes from Posada Los Tumpis lies one of Peru’s most fascinating ecosystems: the Puerto Pizarro Mangroves in Tumbes.
Glide through its channels by canoe, surrounded by roots rising from the water, and observe a wide variety of migratory birds such as herons, frigatebirds, and white ibis. This place is known as the “nursery of the sea” for its rich biodiversity.
During the tour, you can also learn about the life of local artisanal fishermen and, if time allows, enjoy a freshly prepared ceviche right in front of the mangroves
A unique experience where nature, local culture, and the sea come together in perfect harmony
Humpback Whale Watching es la forma adecuada y natural en inglés
The northern coast of Peru is a privileged destination for humpback whale watching. Every year, between July and October, thousands of these cetaceans arrive from Antarctica for their breeding and mating season
During excursions on local boats, it is possible to observe their movements, breaches, and songs in their natural habitat, offering a truly unique spectacle in the world.
Their impressive acrobatics in the ocean are part of behaviors associated with their mating rituals, making this experience one of the most remarkable natural attractions in the region.
Thanks to the important biological corridor for whale migration in the Tumbes region, Peru has gained international recognition for the richness of this experience.
The country was nominated as South America’s Leading Whale Watching Destination at the 2021 World Travel Awards, one of the most important recognitions in global tourism.
Whale watching is one of the most impactful and unforgettable experiences in life, and the regions of Tumbes and Piura stand out as Peru’s main destinations to witness this extraordinary natural spectacle
