Am I allowed to fish inside the Park?

It is strictly forbidden. Only the local native communities are allowed to fish and hunt in authorized areas inside the Park.

By Peruvian law in Presidential Resolution 038-2011 through the National Service of Protected Natural Areas (Sernanp) institution, fishing called “chinchorro fishing” has been prohibited. This provision is considered aggressive by the institution, given that it uses huge nets to catch fish in large masses.

The consequences of this type of fishing is the decrease in the population of endangered species, which is an attack on many ecosystems.
Likewise, within the reserved and buffer zones, sport fishing is not allowed, except for the indigenous communities that use this resource for their food.
