Santuario Nacional Manglares de Tumbes

Reviewed By hbkm - Leverkusen, Germany

Went there specially to do a kayaking tour in the park. Two tours are offered: The short paddling tour of about one hour (although they tell you two) and the longer motor boat ride of about three hours (which turned out to be longer because of motor failure). I did both. Okay, there were no kayaks, so I paddled a canoe together with a local guide. The loop is not very big but it gives you a good impression of what the mangroves look like. There are many birds but not many other animals. Depending on whether you are there on high or low tide you will get totally different impressions of the park, but in both cases it is worth seeing it. After this loop in the canoe I did the motor boat ride. It takes you to the river which marks the boarder between Peru and Ecuador. You see even more birds on the bird island and you will go to the beach where the river enters the Pacific Ocean. This I found the coolest thing of the trip: Swimming in the river mouth in the ocean, Ecuador to one side, Peru to the other, warm water, sand and a light current from the incoming tide. Nothing but nature, sun and a few fishermen. Very much worth the visit. Happy about having had a great time in a totally unknown and hardly visited natural protection site I went on to the beaches further south.

La Isla Hueso de Ballena

La Isla Hueso de Ballena, mas que una isla es una barrera formada por el sedimento arrastrado por el río Tumbes. Para muchos su nombre estaria relacionado con su forma, semejante al espinazo del enorme mamífero acuático; para otros es llamada de esta manera por que en ella encallo del lado del mar una ballena, con el paso del tiempo solo quedaron los huesos.
