Organos: Beach, Surf and Marine Wildlife

Playa Los Órganos offers a kilometer of fine white sand and gentle waves. This gives a beach stay a distinctive character, while the sea here can also be enjoyed through a variety of activities. The waves at the beach are suitable for kayaking. If you are mainly looking for surf spots, you can use the names of the well-known waves and locations as a guide.

Beach, Kayaking and Surf Spots

Órganos, also known as La Vuelta, is considered one of the best waves in northern Peru. Casablanca, El Codito, and Organitos are each among the most important surf spots at Playa Los Órganos. The waves at the beach are also suitable for kayaking, so you can experience the sea not only from a surf spot but also out on the water.

When choosing a vacation rental, these interests can be a useful starting point: consider whether you would prefer to spend your stay on the sandy beach, kayaking, or focused on surfing.

Marine Wildlife at the Pier and in El Ñuro

You can observe marine wildlife at the artisanal pier in Los Órganos. The pier also serves as a starting point for relaxing excursions and trips out to sea, with a focus on marine biodiversity. You can rent boats there for trips out to sea as well as for artisanal or deep-sea fishing. Thus, wildlife-watching excursions and fishing-related trips are both available from the pier, although they offer different experiences.

Another kind of encounter with the sea is possible close to the destination: in El Ñuro, you can swim freely with green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) in their natural habitat, without a boat and close to shore. While the pier is a place for wildlife excursions and observation, El Ñuro offers the chance to swim with these turtles. The two places therefore offer different options for travelers interested in marine life.

Municipal Ordinance No. 006-2019-MDLO/C. sets the opening of whale season at Playa Los Órganos for the second Sunday in July. This describes the opening date stipulated by the ordinance and should be distinguished from beach and water activities available year-round.
