Discover an essential chapter of Peru's naval heritage at Puerto Casma's bay during this engaging excursion. The journey includes breathtaking views from the Comandante Noel viewpoint and a visit to the renowned Playa Tortugas beach.
Tour of Puerto Casma, Comandante Noel & Playa Tortugas
Around the scheduled time, we will set off from your hotel in Casma towards Puerto Casma, a coastal jewel located just a brief 10-minute drive from the city.
Upon arrival at this Peruvian coastal town, the strategic significance of the area becomes evident. In the era of Spanish colonization, this port was vital but faced harrowing pirate attacks in the early 17th century. We will delve into this history while exploring Puerto Casma.
The importance of Puerto Casma persisted into the 19th century, marked by the unfortunate fate of the frigate Mercedes. Are you aware of the events surrounding this ship? Throughout the tour, we will uncover the narrative of Commander Juan Noel Lastra, whose valiant efforts remain remarkable to this day.
After our exploration of Puerto Casma, we will proceed to the Comandante Noel viewpoint, where we will gain further insights into the legacy of this courageous Peruvian sailor. This stop also offers a moment to savor the stunning panoramic vistas of the area.
Next, we'll travel to Playa Tortugas, a famed beach with a charming fishermen's cove. Here, local fishermen engage in harvesting octopus, squid, and snails, reflecting the bay's abundance of marine life. As part of our exploration, we will discuss local culinary traditions, particularly the delightful dishes featuring fresh fish.
Ultimately, we will conclude our experience at Tortugas beach and return you to your hotel in Casma, with an anticipated return time of approximately 4 hours later.
