Peruvian beaches are known to have one of the most amazing and remarkable features in terms of beauty and tourism, but sadly, it also holds the record of having the dirtiest beach in Latin America. According to EFE, Peru's Carpayo Beach collects tons of waste from the Pacific Ocean, leading to numerous comments of being the dirtiest in the region.

A summary of its collected trash accounts to at least 2.8 kilos of trash for every square meter in the Carpayo beach area. Arturo Alfaro from the environmental organization VIDA said, "We left the beach clean, but the next day there was trash again. We compared the results with other places where similar campaigns are conducted, such as the Philippines and Hawaii, and none of them have Carpayo's waste density. It is unique."

Located at the western tip of the Peruvian capital, Carpayo according to the Latino Fox News is unfortunate enough to be the recipient of massive waste from Lima's building waste materials. Sadly, the type of waste that you can find in the Peruvian beach includes auto parts, furniture and even human skulls. Magdalena del Mar and San Miguel, Lima's popular suburbs are now immune to the three-decade battle on waste materials overflowing in Peru's Carpayo Beach.

VIDA has worked on cleaning Peruvian beaches for 17 years now. The company said that much of Peru's Carpayo beach trash can be attributed to Lima's booming construction business. Alfaro also said, "Between 40 percent and 50 percent of the trash landing on Carpayo are materials that could be recycled. The most dangerous are small objects, like polystyrene items that fish and birds mistake for food."

The extent of waste that started to pile up in Peru's Carpayo Beach can be seen after 1,000 volunteers were able to collect at least 60 tons of waste in just three hours, the publication reports.

Meanwhile, Living in Peru cited some of the most amazing Peruvian beaches, which include the white sands of Jihuay in Arequipa, Lampay. The said beach is very close to Lima and Caleta San Jose in Alequipa that features animal viewing of penguins and sea lions.

Cantos Rodados in Santa Island features a rocky landscape that is perfect for bird watching. The island has at least 17 species of birds. Meanwhile, Caleta Ancumpita offers scenic views of rock formations with a huge pool in the middle of the formations.
