    Huanchaco has roughly 50 fishermen in the Association of Artisanal Fishermen. The caballitos that provide the backdrop of Huanchaco's beaches are used by each one of them, but not all fishermen go out every day. Each fisherman also has two caballitos to give them time to dry between outings. As a means of supplementing income due to dwindling fisheries, some fishermen charge tourists for rides on the traditional craft.

    Huanchaco's sign framed by the caballitos that draw many tourists to the city, and are a source of cultural pride to the people. The caballitos are endangered by many modern-day issues.
