About Humpback whale season off northern Peru

The season is expected to start in mid-July 2027 and run to the end of October 2027. These dates are estimates based on the usual pattern, and the edition's dates have not been confirmed yet. Nothing guarantees the season will follow this window.

The season is based around Máncora, in the Piura region of Peru. Locally it is known as Temporada de avistamiento de ballenas jorobadas. The place is also listed as an estimate rather than a confirmed detail.

The Peruvian export and tourism promotion body, PROMPERÚ, is named as the official source. No details of how to attend have been confirmed, so check with them for current information before planning a trip.
