ABOUT Tumbes

Tumbes is a hidden gem in northern Peru, located along the border with Ecuador and bathed by the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean. This region stands out for its year-round tropical climate, rich biodiversity, and a cultural blend of coastal and jungle traditions. Unlike other areas in the country, Tumbes offers a unique natural setting that includes beaches, mangroves, estuaries, and ecological reserves—making it a popular destination for both domestic and international travelers.

The city of Tumbes, the region’s capital, is the ideal starting point to explore the area. Its proximity to the Ecuadorian border also makes it a strategic gateway for cross-border tourism. In terms of cuisine, Tumbes is renowned for its seafood, particularly dishes made with black clams, such as ceviche tumbesino and sudado de pescado—all bursting with northern Peruvian flavor and freshness.

Beyond its coastline, Tumbes is home to some of Peru’s most diverse ecosystems, including the Tumbes Mangroves, the only ones of their kind in the country. This area shelters species such as crocodiles, exotic birds, and black clams. The region also features protected areas like the Cerros de Amotape National Park and the Tumbes Reserved Zone, both safeguarding endemic species and rare tropical dry forests not found elsewhere in Peru.
