Punta Sal Beach, Punta Sal

Mancora is Peru’s most popular beach resort. While it used to be a sleepy fishing town, it’s now the focal point of beach-related tourism in Peru. The resort has a variety of beaches ranging from the touristy ones to offbeat gems. Punta Sal is somewhere in the middle. As a beach, it offers great opportunities to lounge and relax. There are a few cocktail bars and supermarkets in the area too. Water sports, especially snorkelling and scuba diving, are extremely popular with visitors. Punta Sal is well on the tourist trail, so there are lots of comfortable options to stay in the area. We love Resort Decameron Punta Sol, it has an amazing pool and all three of its restaurants serve scrumptious food. A number of rooms offer stunning ocean views and they are equipped with luxurious toiletries and all other amenities you could possibly want. A 15-hour bus ride from Lima gets tourists to Mancora but it is also possible to take a short flight from Lima to Tumbes or Piura.
