CULTURE

Cabo Blanco is a historic fishing village outside of Mancora. In the 1950s and 60s, A-list celebrities and big-game fishermen flocked to its shores for a chance to catch a “grander,” the nickname for the prevalent 1,000-pound marlins that could be found there. The biggest catch recorded was, and still is, the 1,560-pound black marlin by game fisherman Alfred Glassell, Jr. in 1953.

ADVENTURE

Take advantage of Peru's biodiverse marine ecosystem and head to Mancora or Punta Sal for some of the best scuba diving and, if in town during the months of August through October, visit Los Organos for a chance to spot Humpback Whales swimming and leaping out of the water alongside their newborns. Alternatively, grab a surfboard and surf the perfect swells in Cabo Blanco where marlins, Bluefin tuna, and mahi mahi swim.

NATURE

For the nature lover, it’s hard to beat the sight of a Humpback Whale acrobatically leaping out of the ocean deep. During the months of August through October, Peru’s northern waters are excellent for whale watching. This is when Humpback Whales enter Peruvian waters to breed and calve. There’s a good chance you’ll even spot one of the newborns swimming along beside its giant mother, likely its very first swim.
