The 11 best free attractions in Piura

Nice municipal museum with some findings of a peripheral culture of the Moche empire. Pottery, a mummy, the "usual" stuff. You learn about pottery techniques and the arrival of Pizarro's band of destroyers and the fateful encounter with the Inca.

It actually closes at 3. A complete waste of my time. The security guard said he's told them to change the opening hours online but they still haven't. Ridiculous.

Wow

Excellent

It's a organizated place, and interesting information about Vicus and Tallan cultures.

Beautiful

Great place to visit if you want to see some animals and relax for a bit, but please go early since the area can be dangerous and with a ride to get there and back. There isn't really a big food option, but it's nice to go for a picnic. The entrance fee is 1 sol for the animals. I will say the rabbit exhibit was pretty depressing, but for what it is, I feel like there are a lot of good there to see.

This place is deeply disturbing. Many of the animals are kept in tiny, filthy cages, with no access to clean water or adequate food. The monkeys I saw were extremely thin, some with visible skin diseases. A tortoise appeared to have a serious neck infection, and overall, the animals look neglected and unhealthy. The conditions here are cruel and inhumane — this is not a sanctuary, it’s a form of long-term animal suffering. It’s heartbreaking to see living beings treated like this, and it's clear they need urgent intervention from animal protection authorities. Visitors should be aware: there are also mosquito infestations due to stagnant water throughout the site.

The only zoo in Piura, features monkeys. Some of the animal conditions are horrible with garbage everywhere. It seems like it was built to be a grand park but absolutely neglected afterwards.

Interesting to visit such an ancient place of culture. This place is not far from Piura. A beautiful tourist location. They are skilled in making artifacts and sell there too. Hats and the things they make are cheaper than their main market place in Catacaos.

This place has a lot of potential. It is a wonderful historical site but it's just barely being developed. It is not well known so there are not a lot of tourists. They have some very interesting archaeological finds. If you are in the area it is well worth the time to go and visit.

After visiting the ruins in Cusco, this is not too impressive. Unless you are into old cultures that sacrifice their children to their gods this is not a "must".

Nice place to spent time with the family . I liked it 😊.

Closed because of the rains

Ok

Amazing

(Translated by Google) To get to Cabo Blanco beach, you must take a bus that charges S/3.00, the bus stop is near the EPPO-El Alto stop, the cost of the EPPO ticket from Alto to Máncora is S/5.00 (at the date 2023). Cabo Blanco was previously a place visited by sport fishing and where Nobel Prize winner Ernest Hemingway was inspired to write "The Old Man and the Sea." In a mural, you can see the image of Alfred Glassell, an American businessman who in 1953 achieved the world record for deep-sea fishing by catching a swordfish weighing approximately 700 kilos. "World record for deep-sea fishing, Cabo Blanco 1953, 1,560 pounds" reads above the image. The conservation could be improved, the poster where a brief review is shown is worn by time and the letters cannot be clearly seen. (Original) Para llegar a la playa Cabo Blanco, se debe tomar una combi que cobra S/3.00, el paradero de combis está cerca del paradero del EPPO- El Alto, el costo del pasaje del EPPO del Alto a Máncora es de s/5.00 (a la fecha 2023). Cabo Blanco antes era un lugar muy visitado por la pesca deportiva y en el cual el Premio Nobel de Literatura Ernest Hemingway se inspiró para escribir "El viejo y el mar". En un mural, se observa la imagen de Alfred Glassell, un empresario estadounidense que en 1953 logró el récord mundial de pesca de altura al atrapar un pez espada de 700 kilos aprox "Récord mundial de pesca de altura, Cabo Blanco 1953, 1.560 libras" se lee sobre la imagen. Se podría mejorar la conservación, el afiche en donde se muestra una breve reseña está desgastado por el tiempo y no se alcanza a ver bien las letras.

(Translated by Google) Cabo Blanco is a fishing cove in the Province of Talara, in the Department of Piura, northwest of Peru, located 3 km from El Alto, on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It is considered the southernmost point of the Gulf of Guayaquil. It is frequently visited by surfers from all over the world. Marine fishing joins over time with the old fishermen and is lost in memory; and, in its port, from time to time a barracuda with its enormous size is caught; As part of the anecdote, there is talk of the merlin weighing more than 900 kilograms that people associate with the narrative of The Old Man and the Sea and that allowed years later the never-forgotten presence of Ernest Hemingway. (Original) Cabo Blanco es una caleta de pescadores de la Provincia de Talara, en el Departamento de Piura, al noroeste del Perú, ubicado a 3 km de El Alto, a orillas del océano Pacífico. Se considera el punto más meridional del golfo de Guayaquil. Es frecuentemente visitado por surfistas de todo el mundo. La pesca marina se unen con el tiempo con los añejos pescadores y se pierde en la memoria; y, en su puerto de vez en cuando es pescado una barracuda con su enorme tamaño; como parte del anecdotario se habla del merlín de más de 900 kilogramos que la gente lo asocia con la narrativa de The Old Man and the Sea (El viejo y el mar) y que permitió años después la presencia nunca olvidada de Ernest Hemingway.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, I only passed by there but I must return The super fine sand and the delicious water (Original) Hermosooo lugar, solo pase por ahi pero debo volver La arena suuper fina y el agua deliciosa

The plaza is an area to see the locals relax and go about their day. It is surrounded by shops and eateries. The cathedral is beautiful with its glorious architecture. This is a passing attraction in Piura. It is beautiful at night with the lights illuminating the area. It is good for some photo opportunities and to see locals just sitting around and conversing.

Very nice town square with historic Catholic cathedral.

A nice big park in the center of Piura, surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants and the Santa Rosa cathedral. Many street vendors selling snacks, ice cream, shaved ice with syrups, etc. around. A nice break in the city.

Great place, clean and croudet ,people really nice ,everybody doing own business, cero stress ...

Chevere

Cute little place to walk around surrounded by shops, pharmacies and banks so you can get anything you forgot before moving forward with your trip, especially if you're visiting the beach town in Màncora. There's a little museum too that you can visit.

A good space to spend some time under the shade. However, it should definitely be improved considering the history of the city and the number of years of its creation. The streets around it are being paved and there is a lot of dust and dirt everywhere. Needs a bit more of care.

Amazing landscape and beautiful birds to watch!! Following the trail to the lighthouse was such fun.

Awesome place, great weather, if you walk towards the cliffs you can see sea lions. Perfect to take sun baths and swim.

Increíble place, little bit abandoned, however amazing sunsets!

It's an amazing place but has been abandoned by the government. There's a structure about to fall.

Beautiful beach, nice waves

Awesome place, perfect for fat biking

The best place ..in Talara

Good place, not very spacious but antique. We visited the church and the sea Bridge.
