A propriedade — El Bunker
El Bunker, a 3-star hotel, feels like a laid-back beach shack in the midst of a rugged industrial port town. Its utilitarian aesthetic, with exposed brick and corrugated iron, belies a surprisingly comfortable stay. The hotel's USP is its proximity to the bustling port, where fishermen unloading the day's catch add to the lively atmosphere. It suits the adventurous, laid-back traveller who prioritises authenticity over luxury. Standing in the lobby, the sounds of the port and the smell of saltwater and diesel fuel transport you to the heart of Chimbote's working-class culture.
Crónicas de Chimbote
Chimbote, founded in 1949 as a major fishing port, has grown into a thriving industrial centre with a rich cultural heritage. Its architecture reflects its history, with a mix of modern warehouses, colonial-era buildings, and Art Deco influences. The city is home to the 16th-century Spanish colonial church, Iglesia de San Pedro, and the Museo Regional de Ancash, showcasing the region's pre-Columbian and colonial art. Chimbote's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its fishing traditions and its role as a key hub for the Peruvian fishing industry. The city's annual Fiesta de la Ceviche, celebrating the country's national dish, is a major event that draws visitors and locals alike.

Principais atrações em Chimbote
💡 Walk all the way to the end for a clear view across the bay. Bring a handkerchief if you're sensitive to fish smell, and wear shoes you don't mind getting a little grimy.
💡 Visit around 5pm when the light softens and the breeze picks up. The ice cream vendors near the cathedral sell decent helados for 2 soles.
💡 The staff can unlock the back room containing the largest pieces if you ask politely. Photos are allowed without flash. Combined with a walk to the nearby Plaza, this makes a good low-key morning.
💡 Go on a clear morning between 7–9am before the coastal fog (garúa) rolls in. Bring water and decent shoes – the path is loose gravel in sections. The view south over the fishing port is the best photo opportunity.
💡 Take a combi from the Ovalo de la Aviación to the town of Casma for about 3 soles. From Casma, it's a 20-minute walk to the viewpoint. Go early to beat the heat and dust.
