Reviewed By Toddy098 - London, United Kingdom
Diving birds and horses might disturb this peaceful place. It is somewhere to go to switch off, but don't expect internet or phones to work. You can cut yourself off here completely.
2. Las Pocitas Beach

Reviewed By Edwin B - Antwerp, Belgium
Beautiful, silent, cozy beach. Long stretch, so always a nice quite spot you can find. We walked for 15 minutes, away from Mancora side, and found some nice beach chairs we could use when we bought a drink. The water has a perfect temperature and its clean. A grwat day out. A tuktuk from Mancora costs 7 sol (3 people). We go back tomorrow.

Reviewed By FyingKiwi - Christchurch, New Zealand
A beautiful church from the outside, with a wonderful ornate and spectacular interior. Well worth the time to visit, and explore its many areas where hidden treasures are often discovered.
4. Plaza de Armas

Reviewed By Chriss999uk - London, United Kingdom
Plaza de Armas in Piura is very nice, there are always people walking and sitting around it, there is a lovely vibe, specially at the weekends, the main square is the city centre, the only downside could be sometimes you can see some female and male prostitutes. During the day is a very good place to sit, relax and see people passing by

The Museum open from Monday to Friday from 9AM to 12PM then 3:30PM until 6PM Saturday and Sunday 9AM - 12PM. Entrance fee 2 Soles for Adults and 1 Sol for Children but no tickets were given. Old pictures, replicas of letters, furnitures, brought us back to the past for awhile, to know more about Miguel Grau, his life and his family. All explainations are in Spanish, no guide offered.
6. Universidad de Piura
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 67 reviews
Reviewed By Chgomez3 - Talara
Is a beatiful university campus in the dry forest of Peru north. The lung of Piura city. You can practice bird watching, take pictures to foxes, deer, peacocks. Also you can pray in the Chapel. This study center was founded by San Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer
7. Playa Lobitos
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 60 reviews
Reviewed By Alexander L - Piura, Peru
Lobitos is a weird town, once home to a now-abandoned military base and site to many oil rigs. It´s growing, and home to excellent surf and pretty sunsets, but still lacks in infrastructure (restaurants, stores) and easy transportation (it suffers on Sundays). But it´s a hidden gem among other Beaches in Piura, and highly recommended despite being off the beaten path.
8. Que hacer en Mancora, Sports & Adventure Center

Reviewed By BahiaDave - Lencois, BA
Went in to ask about fishing trips, and was told there were none available, but they tried to sell me a trip swimming with turtles. Now I am totally opposed to this interaction with wild turtles, who then become used to human contact, which puts them at severe risk of harm, and told the shop employee. He asked if I was a qualified biologist, and more or less told me to shut up and get out when I said I was simply a very concerned individual.
Very rude and unhelpful.
