To visit the northern Peruvian bay of Cabo Blanco is to immerse yourself in history, literature, water sports and, of course, the natural world.
The history of Cabo Blanco is inextricably intertwined with the development of international sport fishing.
In the 1950s, Cabo Blanco was an exclusive destination for deep-sea fishing and world records were broken, including the capture of a gigantic merlin weighing 698.5 kg (1540 pounds). Species such as the black merlin and swordfish continue to form part of the wealth of marine fauna found in these waters.
The Cabo Blanco Fishing Club was visited by the writer Ernest Hemingway in 1956. The Nobel Prize winning author was impressed by the natural beauty of this northern fishing cove.
