The most beautiful natural sites to discover North Coast

This beach and its malecón are mostly frequented by families who come from Trujillo on weekends. Be careful, because here the sea is rough and dangerous. If you want to go in the water, you must be daring and a good swimmer. We do not recommend walking on this beach. Indeed, many robberies have taken place, as well as dog attacks... If you are not afraid of the crowds, prefer Huanchaco because the beach is much safer and you will be able to take nice sunset pictures on the pier.

One of the most beautiful seaside sites in the north of Lima, set back from the Panamericana (500 m on foot). The water here is clear, the roadstead protected from the winds and, although it is the favorite beach of the inhabitants of Chimbote, even of Huaraz, it is not too "polluted" by tourism. It is really a beach with a postcard decor! El Farol has a^2nd hotel there. There is also the Ponciana Beach and the more humble hostal Gabriela. Some restaurants like the Cabo Blanco for excellent seafood dishes.

It is better to contact the guides' association or an agency to reserve, the places are isolated and the cost in transport, if you are alone, can be high. The visit itself lasts about 3 hours on foot, but it starts at 40 minutes drive from Santa Catalina de Chongoyape. 214 species of birds, 21 species of mammals and 20 species of reptiles and amphibians have been recorded. To get to Santa Catalina de Chongoyape, combine at the Epsel terminal or take a direct taxi.
