Your journey begins with a pickup from your accommodation in Punta Sal at 9 am. We'll then set off towards Tumbes, situated in the northwestern region of Peru.
After nearly two hours on the road, we’ll arrive at Puerto Pizarro, from where we will board a boat to explore the celebrated National Sanctuary of the Tumbes mangroves. This unique ecosystem is an emblematic feature of intertropical America, a fact that adds to its allure.

Continuing our exploration, we will pass by Whale Bone Island and make a stop at Love Island, where pristine beaches await. You will have time to relax and sample some of the local culinary delights.
Next, we will return to the mainland and explore the heart of Tumbes, visiting the Plaza de Armas. Our final stop will be at Amotape beach, where you can admire the vibrant turquoise waters.
