Mar Tropical de Grau National Reserve Recognized by Major U.S. Media Outlet

Travel + Leisure, a popular travel website with millions of readers, wrote about a special place in Peru called the Mar Tropical de Grau National Reserve. This reserve, located by the ocean between Piura and Tumbes, is home to many sea animals. Some of these animals are humpback whales, hammerhead sharks, and Humboldt penguins. The reserve was made a protected area a few months ago to keep these animals safe, help tourism grow, and fight climate change.

The travel and tourism portal Travel + Leisure, with over 10 million readers, published an article dedicated to the Mar Tropical de Grau National Reserve, highlighting its high species diversity and natural landscapes. 

Approved as a protected area just four months ago, the reserve is located between the coasts of Piura and Tumbes and contains 70% of Peru's aquatic species. The article emphasizes notable species such as humpback whales, hammerhead sharks, Humboldt penguins, and Pacific seahorses.

The article also notes that the reserve's efforts go beyond wildlife preservation; it protects the area from overfishing, strengthens the region's tourism potential, and mitigates the impacts of climate change. 

This article is the result of a collaborative effort between Promperú and Mincetur, who maintain an international communication strategy aimed at promoting Peru as a unique destination for the U.S. market.
