Great white sharks are known to have a wide distribution in the world's oceans, including the eastern Pacific Ocean, where Peru is located. They have been reported along the Peruvian coastline, including near the coastal cities of Lima, Callao, and Pisco.
While great white sharks are present in Peruvian waters, they are not as abundant as in other regions, such as the waters off California or South Africa. They are considered relatively rare in Peruvian waters, and there have been only a few confirmed sightings and catches of great white sharks in the region.
Despite their relatively low abundance, great white sharks are still considered a potential danger to humans in Peruvian waters, and caution is advised when swimming or engaging in water-based activities in areas where they are known to occur.
