Fishing off the Negritos Pier

We've been fishing off this pier a few times already. It's a large pier in the middle of the desert between two towns, with no way to get onto it except climbing up some pieces of shattered concrete and metal pipe. Only in Peru. Next time we go, I'll try to remember to get a picture of the climb onto the pier. Click the pictures for high-res.

Ship traffic coming out of "El Puerto" (Talara harbour).

Such a Peruvian place to put a deep-water pier.

Peru's northern coast is known for its sandy bluffs.

Looking across the desert toward Talara.

Fishing the traditional Peruvian way, with a line and a length of PVC tube instead of a rod.
