Active PursuitsPimentel is a beach resort 14km (8 3/4 miles) west of Chiclayo, with a nice enough beach that's very popular in summer and a small fishing community that still employs the caballitos de mar (totora-reed boats) seen in Huanchaco, near Trujillo. Just 6km (3 3/4 miles) south of Pimentel is Santa Rosa, a more attractive beach and fishing village with totora-reed and gaily painted wooden fishing boats. It has a handful of good seafood restaurants. Both beaches are low-key and a good antidote to touring archaeological sites. Buses and colectivos run from Vicente Vega and Angamos in Chiclayo to Pimentel. In summer, they continue along a "circuito de playas" to Santa Rosa, Puerto Etén, and Monsefú, none of which is spectacular.
