Punta Sal is a large beach resort area in Punta Sal, only
a half hour from Mancora, on the northern coast of Peru, and a growing
hot vacation spot for the water or beach enthusiast, or someone who just
wants to relax and eat great seafood. Shrimp, lobster and fish are the
staple here. The Pacific waters are warm and the sandy beaches are long,
white and incredibly beautiful. Fishing, swimming, surfing, water-skiing,
yachting and canoeing are all great pastimes to enjoy here. Nearby is the
famous Caleta de la Cruz de Pizarro, where Conquistadores landed more than
400 years ago to begin the conquest of Peru, as well as Hemingway’s favorite
fishing spot, Cabo Blanco. The nearby village of Mancora has great seafood
restaurants right on the beaches as well. Acces is either via excellent
bus service from Lima to Mancora or by plane to Punta Sal.
