Peru has a coastline that is around 3,000 km. long and extends along the Pacific Ocean. There are the perfect waves of the Peruvian coast. This area full of sandy beaches, bays, peninsulas, cliffs and rocks, as well as the most modern hotels in Peru, can be a true paradise for surfers.
The capital of Peru, Lima, can be a great destination for all surf enthusiasts. You can dance on the waves and feel the adrenaline in your blood. The Costa Verde is full of waves, ridden daily by hundreds of surfers, beginners and experts. Almost 10 points with waves for all levels, special mention for La Herradura, one of the most powerful left-handers on the Peruvian coast, located in a surprisingly deserted bay in the Chorrillos district. Here in Lima you can find beautiful hotels in Peru for your stay and enjoy its numerous amenities.
The Pan-American highway is located south of Lima. It runs close and parallel to the beach, and you can admire kilometers of sandy beaches full of surf. The most popular for surfing are Conchán on both sides of the boardwalk and San Pedro. At the end of the beach is Arica and its small wave spots: a beachbreak with a sandy bottom and a beachbreak with a rocky bottom.
A little further south you can find magical beaches, most of them are for average and advanced surfers. La Timba and its mythical peak, the good right of Caballeros with south swells and the right tide. Ladies, the sister breaks her, breaks her forehead; a solid left with several sections that can surprise you with a barrel “on the rocks”. Southwest is the legendary wave of Pico Alto, always breaking more than 4 meters of solid walls that overwhelm everything in its path.
Punta Hermosa in one more option located in the south. El Paso is the jewel of Punta Hermosa. A solid bill that mainly breaks right from above and up, fast and tubular. La Isla and its classic right-hand break, Kon Tiki with big waves that are always unexplored, and Punta Rocas, a consistent point of big waves and host to an annual international contest.
More beach breaks to the south with Explosibles leading the show with their exploding tubes. Then the privileged area of San Bartolo and its cousin break from north to south: Santa Rosa, El Huayco, Peña Rosa, Peñascal and the San Bartolo docks. The best are Peñascal, known for his fierceness and solidity, and Santa Rosa for his aggressive tube. Peña Rosa usually offers a northern feeling for those who know its secrets. El Huayco is the most consistent break in the area and is quite visited. Continuing south, the points are much further apart. There are Puerto Viejo and the Ensenada, Bujama, the Asia beach breaks and other secret corners of the area.
There are so many opportunities to surf in Peru. There are beautiful beaches with big waves all along the coast. You have the opportunity to find the best hotel in Peru for you and enjoy a wonderful vacation.
