A well-protected but filthy harbour full of hundreds of mostly wooden fishing vessels, many sitting in their oil slicks. The smells from the fish loading and processing plants is 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.

Details?
Check-in facilities
Report to Autoridad Portuaria Nacional. You will need an agent. DO NOT USE Liliana Huancayo nor her company, Port Logistics. She charged US$983 for an incomplete clearance, the entire cost of which should have been S/598, about US$215. We had our dinghy and motor stolen while we were clearing in, and Sequitur's decks were stripped of all safety and deck equipment. The water taxi Liliana then organized for us wanted to charge US$240 for shuttling us the quarter mile to and from our boat eight times.
