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

"One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. The service was exceptional—from Alemao at the concierge to the restaurant staff and everyone throughout the property. The space was immaculate and had the most calming, pleasant scent. From the moment you walk through the doors, the fragrance creates an immediate sense of welcome and relaxation. Truly an outstanding experience."

Radisson Hotel Decapolis Miraflores

10/10 Excellent

"I had an awesome experience at this hotel. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The room was clean and spacious and they had sweet treats as a lovely greeting touch. They also gave me a coupon for complementary cocktail. Unfortunately, I did not use it since I didn’t realize I had to use it that first night. The breakfast buffet was wonderful. The tamales are a must try.I would definitely come again."
