Pimentel
Pimentel Beach Resort: 11 km / 7 miles west of Chiclayo (15 minutes by car). This modern beach resort is a good place to surf. You can also observe fishermen who still make use of the ancestral rafts, “caballitos de totora” (little horses of totora reeds), traditionally used on the north coast of Peru since the pre-Colombian era.
