    1. Mancora Beach

    Mancora Beach is the central spot of the entire coastal city. You will at once note the laid-back ambiance as you take a leisurely walk on the beach.

    Notably, this beach is long enough, so there is always enough space to relax or practice some sports or other types of physical activities.

    Constant waves at Mancora Beach make it safe for you to swim or just observe the locals practicing their tricks. Besides, paddle boarding is ideal for less rigorous activities. 

    Some of the Mancora visitors often find it amazing to have a beer and watch the sunset by the sea. Sunset in this destination is special because it makes the whole sky glow with the hues of orange, pink and purple.

    As you pay attention to evening magic, don’t miss the opportunity to visit the shops and cafes. These are places where you can taste fish and dishes of traditional Peruvian cuisine.

    2. Mancora Pier

    If you want to get a taste of the local flavor, then visit the Mancora Pier.

    Here, you will be able to see how fishermen go about their daily business. 

    When you get there early in the morning, you will find boats coming in with their catches.

    Admittedly, it’s interesting to observe the fishermen discharge their fish and the fact that you can buy fresh fish from them at a reasonable price.

    The Mancora Pier also has stunning views of the coastline.

    You will find it very enjoyable to watch the beautiful sights of the Mancora beaches and the horizon.

    3. Las Pocitas Beach

    The next point of interest in Mancora, Peru, is Las Pocitas.

    This is a beautiful and quiet place to relax on the shore.

    Moreover, it’s here that natural rock pools can be found.

    Due to the awesomeness of nature, the rock pools always get filled with water during the high tide. 

    The rock pool water at Las Pocitas Beach is shallow and hot.

    So, be prepared to swim comfortably in clear water, which is still good for snorkeling.

    While Mancora Beach has more visitors and more attractions, Las Pocitas is a less crowded and less developed place.

    4. Los Órganos

    Los Órganos is a must-visit for any lover of wildlife. This beach town is just a short drive from Mancora and is well known for its whale-watching tours.

    Well, the best time for a whale-watching tour is between August and October. 

    Worry not because if you can’t manage to visit Los Órganos either in August or October, you can still get to watch to see the whales.

    These animals are also tamed so you can book a tour and get to see them in close range.

    Water at Los Órganos is also very good for diving and snorkeling. Each day, you will be able to go snorkeling over vivid corals and swim with sea turtles and dolphins. 

    Turning to the Los Órganos town itself, it’s uneventful and rather relaxed.

    Therefore, it’s a great place to visit in the course of the day when coming from Mancora.

    If you don’t want to go to the more crowded beaches, then Los Órganos is the perfect place for those seeking tranquility.

    5. Mancora Craft Market

    To get a feel for the local culture of Mancora, try to go to the Craft Market located in the central part of the town.

    This market is very busy, and it sells a lot of handcrafted items ranging from jewelry to carvings on wood. 

    You will also like wandering through the vivid stalls and searching for special gifts and souvenirs.

    Most of the artistic products at Mancora are crafted by local craftsmen, so you will be helping the locals when you purchase an item.

    The Mancora Craft Market is also an ideal place to get acquainted with the people and get to know more about their art work.

    Additionally, you can talk to artisans and know more about the items that they sell.

    Haggling at Mancora Craft Market is okay. In fact, it’s expected of you. If you are interested in buying souvenirs or just a memory, you will find what you are looking for in the Mancora Craft Market.

    6. The Point and Loki Hostels

    If you are seeking a friendly atmosphere, you should visit The Point and Loki Hostels.

    These two hostels are especially popular among the travelers and backpackers for the active social life. 

    Although you may not be spending your night at The Point and Loki Hostels, their bar and restaurants are open for business.

    You will like communicating with people from different countries and discussing with them over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.

    The Point and Loki Hostels usually host events, live music, and pool parties. As a result, this is the right place if you are out looking for a place to socialize.

    Since The Point and Loki hostels are also situated near the beach, you can easily transfer from a poolside party to the beach.

    Even if you are not a big hostel fan, it will truly be interesting to visit The Point and Loki Hostels for a night of partying.

    7. Punta Sal

    Just a little further to the north of Mancora is the Punta Sal beach which is considered one of the most stunning in northern Peru.

    The Punta Sal beach is characterized by bright white sand and crystal clear water making it the best place for a day trip with no hustle and bustle of the city. 

    Apart from swimming or snorkeling at Punta Sal beach, you can still choose to sunbathe under an umbrella.

    Know that Punta Sal is not as busy as Mancora Beach. Therefore, you will have a more relaxed time.

    Swimming at Punta Sal beach is safe because the water is clear and there are no waves.

    There are also local seafood restaurants by the beach where one can take their meal and have a beautiful view of the sea.

    How to Get to Mancora

    It’s relatively easy to get to Mancora. The easiest way is by air to Piura or Talara from Lima.

    From there, you can take a bus or a taxi to Mancora which is approximately two hours from Talara and three hours from Piura. 

    There are also direct buses from Lima, but the trip will take about 18 hours.

    For the lovers of the scenic view, the bus ride offers the best view of the Peruvian coastline.

    Weather in Mancora

    Mancora is blessed with warm weather throughout the year with temperatures hovering between 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C).

    Most tourists visit the area during the dry season, which is from May to November, because it’s sunny with a cool breeze.

    If you like swimming in warm water then be there in December and March when the humidity is slightly higher.

    Things To Do in Mancora

    Mancora has other activities apart from surfing, snorkeling, and whale-watching.

    There is horseback riding along the beach, hot springs nearby, and mangrove boat riding as well. 

    For adventurous individuals, kitesurfing is available. On the same note, there are many schools that offer classes for beginners and advanced persons.

    Still, don’t underestimate the need to just sit back and breathe in the beauty of the scenery while you listen to the sound of the sea.

    Nightlife in Mancora

    One of the most popular entertainment attractions of Mancora is the nightclubs.

    There are beachfront facilities such as bars and clubs that offer live performances and discotheque and beach parties. 

    The Point and Loki Hostels are famous for their crazy night entertainment, but there are also more quiet and not very crowded bars at the main beach strip.

    Anytime you are in Mancora, you can find a restaurant that will suit your current mood – from a quiet cafe to a club to dance the night away.

    Where to Stay in Mancora

    Mancora has many hotels and guest houses for tourists depending on the type of the accommodation they can afford.

    For the backpackers, The Point and Loki are the hostels offering cheap accommodation with social vibes.

    Moreover, for even more comfort, there are beach hotels and resorts which provide bungalows right on the beach, swimming pools, and spa services.

    A good number of hotels also provide surfing packages or tours to other related attractions within the area as well.

    Conclusion

    Mancora is a perfect destination for you if you love the ocean and beautiful sandy beaches.  It’s a place to enjoy active vacations and surfing.

    From sunbathing at Mancora Beach to hiking through the less crowded Las Pocitas or even watching whales at Los Órganos, there is no shortage of things to do in Peru.

    Again, don’t go to Mancora without visiting the craft market or going out for a night party at any of the several hostels in the town.
