Catedral San Pedro

Reviewed By Rob W - Dublin, Ireland

The Cathedral in Chimbote is one of the few nice places to visit here.
The inside is modern and well painted. The outside is really tasteful and nicely lit at night.
I would not recommend going out of the way to go here but if you are Chimbote for a night - this is a good place to visit.

Vivero Forestal de Chimbote

Reviewed By KWinhall - Totnes

Firstly, why are you hanging around in Chimbote. Don't!
Leave! Go somewhere nice.....
The only reason you should be in Chimbote should be to do an overnight stop over to catch a different bus.
Secondly, this place is made up of mud floors. A random huge boat.
Dangerous and boring attractions. Granted it only costs 5 soles to get in but that is not worth it.
Once you pay to get in, you then have to pay to do everything else also.
The boating lake was ok.

Plaza de Armas

Reviewed By Rob W - Dublin, Ireland

This is not the best Plaza - I wouldn't recommend Chimbote unless you are heading towards Huaraz on the duck canyon route.
It is not as nice as some of the other colonial Plazas and unfortunately stinks of fish like the rest of Chimbote (so it is not a particularly attractive place to hang around.
The people are very friendly which is a bonus!

Catedral Nuestra Senora del Carmen y San Pedro Apostol

Reviewed By Jesus A - Lima, Peru

En la plaza mayor de Nuevo Chimbite se yergue imponente esta Iglesia Catedral, por fuera se la ve sencilla y austera pero esta Concepcion cmsbia al ingresar a ella, las amplias y altas naves impresionan por su estilo gotico que le da una sensacion de paz y tranquilidad
La Municipalidad tuvo el bune criterio de pormever la iluminación por ello las noches la especial iluminación con luces de colores, le da un aspecto especial

Estadio Manuel Rivera Sanchez

Reviewed By Rob W - Dublin, Ireland

I visited this international standard stadium in Chimbote - it was used for the Copa America when Peru hosted it, so it is of good standard.
It is well located on the Pan Pacific and is one of the few attractions that takes your mind off the rotten smell of fish in Chimbote.

Cataratas de Hornillos

Reviewed By oli f

Es un hermoso lugar para relajarse y disfrutar de la flora y fauna de este lugar, de gente acogedora dedicada a la agricultura con muchas ganas de brindarte el servicio que uno se merece, excelente lugar para acampar, caminar, hacer fotos, escalar en roca, canyonig, y disfrutar de sus aguas tibias que provienen de la cordillera negra, muy buena comida, a disfrutar...

Las Loberas

Reviewed By Jesus A - Lima, Peru

Formaciones rocosas que albergan a lobos marinos, muy cerca del puerto pesquero.
Es una atracción que aun no esta puesta en valor, por ello su acceso no es muy facil y no hay facilidades, incluso para el transporte lo mejor es contratar un taxi desde la ciudad
