Máncora District, Coastal district in Talara Province, Peru.

Máncora District stretches along the Pacific Ocean coastline, encompassing 100 square kilometers of land with pristine beaches and coastal settlements at 3 meters elevation.

The district, established on November 14, 1908, developed from a small fishing village into a major coastal destination in northwestern Peru's Piura Region.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods passed down through generations, while operating alongside modern tourism activities in the district's waters.

The Pan-American Highway runs through the district, connecting visitors to accommodations, medical facilities, and numerous beach access points throughout the year.

The district experiences consistent water temperatures between 21 and 26 degrees Celsius, creating favorable conditions for surfing and water activities regardless of season.
