Los caballitos de totora are an enduring symbol of Huanchaco, a traditional seaside town near Trujillo, Peru. Crafted from bundled totora reeds, these ancestral fishing boats still ride the waves of the Pacific, keeping alive a maritime tradition passed down through generations.
Along Huanchaco’s beach and historic pier, fishermen, rolling waves and traditional reed boats create a distinctive coastal scene where ancient heritage meets everyday life.
