Huanchaco
Huanchaco is a fishing village that despite modernity resists disappearing and continues to fish in millennia-old boats made of totora.
Here we will have the opportunity to see your boats and nets on the seashore and hopefully we can see the fishermen in their daily activities: sewing nets, fishing or offering a ride on your boat to anyone who requests it.
