Abstract
On October 1st, 2006, at the Mangroves San Pedro de Vice -MSPV (Sechura, Piura - Peru) the first visual record of Leopardus pajeros was made in the southern part of the area (05°31'09" S, 80°53'28" W). Subsequently, between August and December of 2010, different tracks were recorded. On December 4th, 2010, the first photographic record was taken at the MSPV with two nights/trap, being the first record for Piura department, the westernmost coordinates, the lowest altitude above sea level (0 m), and the first associated with a wetland in Peru.
