History
The Guañape cove at the end of the nineteenth century, was a beach where people came to fish. The place acquired its present name of Puerto Morín following the construction of a small dock by the Frenchman Carlos Marie Morin Dutot, built with the help of the local inhabitants. Morin Dutot had arrived in the country in the 1870s. It is also a starting point to go to Guañape Islands, where there are several species of marine life such as sea lions, birds, etc.[1]
