Loki del Mar
Things to do
Mancora is the most famous beach town in Peru with year round summer days, left hand surf break, and with am
azing seafood, ceviche and even s5ushi in town. Mancora is the place to leave
those alpaca sweaters in your bag and step into the sun.
Sun
With sunshine every day, you can choose to relax on the beach or at our pool. Park up on one of our pool loungers or on the soft white sand. Watch the surfers from your sunbathing spot! We are lucky enough to have breathtaking sunsets every night, which are not to be missed.
Surfing and Body Boarding
Mancora is a world famous surfing spot and a very popular destination for surfers. The break in front of Loki provides consistent left hand breaks and is a great place to learn. Nearby beaches such as Lobitos provide more challenging waves. You can rent boards at Loki’s surf shop. Feel the adrenaline!
Kite Surfing
If there are not good waves, there is guaranteed to be good wind, and Mancora is a perfect spot to take a crash course in Kite Surfing. Alternatively, if this is too energetic you can watch the kiters from your balcony in the hostel! They are pretty impressive!
Horse Riding
In Mancora you can ride horses along the beach, or in the nearby countryside.
Yoga
In a relaxing place like Mancora, yoga fits the vibe perfectly. Kick back and practice yoga overlooking the sea at sunset. One-off classes or weekly packages near the hostel.
Mud Baths
Just out of town you’ll find these natural mud baths where you can relax while the mud works its magic on your skin. Rinse off in the hot springs at midnight!
Fishing
There are plenty of fish to be caught in Mancora. Take the popular 2 hour fishing trip to snap a few fishies or go for the more professional option where you are likely to find bigger game fish.
Loki Olympics
Every Friday Loki del Mar runs the Loki Olympics! A fantasticly fun day with tug of war across the pool, darts, pool, table tennis and finally the bombing competition!
