Tumbes is the warmest region in Peru, boasting very fertile lands, known for the production of rice, lemons, bananas, and cocoa. Historically, it was the home of the Tumpis, an advanced people of the Andean civilization.
 
The city of Tumbes is lively and features a beautiful riverside boardwalk (malecón). Its beaches, such as Punta Sal and Zorritos, have a special charm; occasionally, phytoplankton illuminates the sea at night, creating a fascinating spectacle. A highlight of the region is the Tumbes Mangroves National Sanctuary, a vital and productive ecosystem with great biodiversity. In addition to the mangroves, you can admire the beautiful Tumbes valley from the nearby Palo Santo viewpoint.
