Delicious!!! 😎👍 (Original) Un lugar muy agradable, aún quedan algunos huesos de ballenas, disfrutar de deporte acuático, y un rico ceviche de conchas negras.... Riquísimo!!! 😎👍

(Translated by Google) Currently abandoned. They say that in some seasons they set up restaurants, but everyone went to the island of love. The island is named for whaling and the discovery of whale bones there. Only observe it on the Mangrove tour, which is not worth visiting. (Original) Actualmente abandonada. Dicen que en algunas temporadas se instalan restaurante, pero todos se fueron a la isla del amor. La isla se llama así por la caza de ballenas y el hallazgo de huesos de ballenas en el lugar. Solo observarla en el tour de los Manglares, que no vale la pena visitarla.
(Translated by Google) TOURISM and Marine Gastronomy: The visit to this island is part of the Mangrove Tour in Puerto Pizzarro, there are some open-air restaurants and some water activities and some crafts are offered. It is an island without much attraction, at least in JUNE it did not have those inflatable games or jet skis, but we arrived at a point where they have these food huts, it is called Caracolito and in an exquisite hammock to have lunch, with an unbeatable view, they I recommend the prawn ceviche for s/30, very very good. When you visit the mangroves it is a mandatory stop for lunch. The distinctive feature of this place is that it is between the river and the beach, you have to see it yourself, the beauty there is indescribable. It is an unforgettable experience where you can not only enjoy the view, the flora and fauna; You will be able to appreciate how the sea meets fresh water. It is also an island that has different types of family attractions. Very good flavor, I don't recommend eating many things without cooking, especially due to the lack of drinking water, but that sea bass ceviche and the one with black shells, holy cow!!!! Be careful with the Hygiene of Sellers: I returned to the island after 4 years and with a shame I must say that it has gotten worse, dirty, with unhealthy restaurants. There really is little support from the authorities in wanting to promote this tourist destination, it has a lot of potential but unfortunately it is not developed and ends up scaring away tourists. I recommend not eating since it is not a guarantee. They carry out an inspection on the Hueso de Ballena Island in Puerto Pizarro: The municipality of Tumbes carried out an inspection on Isla Hueso de Ballena, in Puerto Pizarro due to the inadequate disposal of solid waste and wastewater, which generates environmental pollution, putting the health of tourists at risk. The intervention in the different restaurants on the island was carried out on Friday morning by the staff of the municipality of Tumbes, through the Annual Environmental Inspection Plan (Planefa). During the inspection, five septic tanks were identified within 50 meters of the beach, which dump wastewater without any treatment into the mangrove, causing great damage to the marine ecosystem. Cost: Mangroves and Whale Bone Island Tour: Tumbes: a day between beaches, mangroves and hot springs Published on February 28, 2010 One of the excursions that we had been recommended to take from Máncora is the one that takes you to see the province of Tumbes and its mangroves. It should be noted that there are several tourism companies that sell it and the price ranges between 50 and 70 soles. The tour starts at 8:00 in the morning and ends at approximately 7:00 p.m. (Original) TURISMO y Gastronomia Marina: La visita a esta isla es parte del Tour de Manglares en Puerto Pizzarro, hay algunos restaurantes al aire libre y se ofrecen algunas actividades acuáticas y algunas artesanías. Es una isla sin mucho atractivo , al menos en JUNIO no tenía esos juegos inflables ni las motos de agua, pero llegamos a una punta donde tienen estas chozas de comidas , se llama Caracolito y en una exquisita hamaca almorzar ,con una vista inmejorable, les recomiendo el ceviche de langostino por s/30 muy muy bueno . Cuando haces la visita a los manglares es una parada obligatoria para almorzar. El distintivo de este lugar es que está entre el río y la playa, tiene que conocerlo uno mismo, es indescriptible la belleza que hay ahí Es una experiencia inolvidable donde no solo podrás disfrutar de la vista , la flora y fauna; podrás apreciar como se junta el mar con el agua dulce. también es una isla que cuenta con diferente tipos de atracciones familiares. Muy buen sabor, no recomiendo comer muchas cosas sin cocción sobre todo por la falta de agua potable, pero ese cebiche de robalo y el de conchas negras, Dios Santo!!!! Cuidado con la Higiene de los Vendedores: Retorne a la isla después de 4 años y con una pena debo decir que ha empeorado, sucia, con restaurantes insalubres. Realmente que poco apoyo de las autoridades en querer potenciar este destino turístico, tiene mucho potencial pero lamentablemente no se desarrolla y termina espantado al turista. Les recomiendo no comer ya que no es garantía. Realizan inspección en la Isla Hueso de Ballena en Puerto Pizarro: La municipalidad de Tumbes, realizó una inspección en la Isla Hueso de Ballena, en Puerto Pizarro por la inadecuada disposición de los residuos sólidos y aguas residuales, lo cual genera contaminación ambiental poniendo en riego la salud de los turistas. La intervención a los distintos restaurantes de la isla, se realizó el viernes en horas de la mañana por parte del personal de la municipalidad de Tumbes, a través del Plan Anual de Fiscalización Ambiental (Planefa). En la inspección fueron identificadas cinco pozas sépticas dentro de los 50 metros de la playa, los cuales vierten las aguas residuales sin ningún tratamiento al manglar, causando un gran daño al ecosistema marino. Costo:Tour Manglares e Isla HUeso de Ballena : Tumbes: un día entre playas, manglares y hervideros Publicado en 28 febrero, 2010 Una de las excursiones que nos habían recomendado tomar desde Máncora, es la que te lleva a conocer la provincia de Tumbes y sus manglares. Cabe destacar que hay varias empresas de turismo que la venden y el precio oscila entre 50 y 70 soles. El tour arranca a las 8:00 de la mañana y termina a las 19:00 aproximadamente.
(Translated by Google) A place to spend the afternoon, take jet ski rides, sunbathe and eat something delicious. (Original) Un lugar como para pasar la tarde , hacer paseos en moto acuática , tomar sol y comer algo rico.
(Translated by Google) It's the best tourist spot! The best ceviche I've ever tried. There's a lot of nature to observe. The blue sea in the distance is a dream come true for me.

Pretty cool place. Loved seeing all the crocodiles. I even saw a few fight with each other.
Very informative. But makes me wonder if they plan on releasing them or just keep feeding them (over 300+)
A lot of crocs and gators from the nearby river. Kids love it.
Very well worth a visit to this unique place. The travel here by boat is also enjoyable. Recommended!
Small but with lots of crocodiles
Really interesting crocodile zoo dedicated to the preservation of the local crocodile. They have a large number of areas with different ages of crocodiles. It's a nice tour.
More like a crocodile prison
Fascinating never knew they were so big. Good value visit. Hired boat fm caracolita de mar rest - S/70.
