A well-protected but filthy harbour full of hundreds of mostly wooden fishing vessels, many sitting in their own oil slicks and sewage. The smells and noise from the fish loading and processing plants are overpowering. There is a known extremely high crime rate here. Clear all items from deck, including life raft, life buoys, boathooks, sail sheets, anchors not in use. Hoist dinghy and secure with lock and chain. If possible, maintain a 24-hour deck watch. Strongly recommend not stopping here, but continuing on to Callao, if southbound or into Ecuador if heading north.

  • Another boat we later met in La Punta reported having had their dinghy and motor stolen as they anchored overnight near Paita while in transit from Ecuador to Callao, Peru.
