Coastal Region Private Holiday Homes

Although this once tranquil fishing hamlet is now a popular destination on Peru's 'Gringo Trail', it has clung proudly to its fishing roots. These narrow boats, made from the same reeds used by the Uros in the Lake Titicaca region, are still in use today.

They're known as 'Caballitos de Tortora', meaning "little horses" because of the way they are 'ridden' by the fishermen who use them.

If you wake up early enough (and I mean early; these fishermen are already casting their bait before the sun rises) you can witness an age old tradition in practice.

Top Coastal Region Hotel Reviews

Souma Hotel, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our room with a spectacular view was beautiful, comfortable, and well appointed, and was kept very clean and tidy. Hotel breakfast was fantastic. Hotel staff were always polite and helpful. Some staff were also particularly warm, friendly and informative - I was very impressed with Jhon, who led a fun and interactive "pisco experience" for a diverse group, and provided excellent and courteous service to all who came through the lobby cafe/bar.
