Peru Surfing and
Peru Surf Packages

When you go surfing in Peru you are made aware of the fact that the first evidence of men surfing the ocean waves by artificial means was found in ancient Peru, and not Polynesia or the South Pacific islands. Surfing in Peru is still done by fishermen in the northern fishing coves of Huanchaco, Santa Rosa and Pimentel in the departments of La Libertad and Lambayeque. These men take to surf the sea seated on rafts spun from totora reeds to bring back the day's catch.

Peru surfing is famous worldwide for its waves, and the world surfing tour now touches base at beaches which feature some Peru's best surf breaks such as Punta Rocas, south of Lima, or Cabo Blanco to the far north.  Peru surfing features hundreds of beaches to satisfy even the most demanding of surfers all year-long: the central cost of Peru, which enjoys good waves all season long during winter in the Southern Hemisphere (April-September). Surf in Peru's north coast features swells from October to March. And as there are just 12,000 surfers in Peru you will always be able to find a deserted beach with a perfect wave to enjoy...

Another advantage to Peru surfing is that, while in other countries you have to wait for your turn to ride a good wave because of the large number of other surfers, in Peru you can always catch a good one in a beach that is not too congested.
