Peru’s Northern coast offer a wildness of a shore largely untouched by resorts and tourism. The small villages of fishermen are still enchantingly unrefined despite being world-class surfing destinations. The colorful local fleets, old-school and Polaroid-perfect, offer real and true fresh catch at almost every restaurant.

Horseback riding, whale watching, yoga, and surfing for beginners to world-class elite – there’s no shortage of activities, whether you’re looking for a thrill in water sports or total relaxation. As the sunniest part of the country, the region has a year-round lure, although dramatically busier with limeños and locals in the high summer season December through March.

The region’s hotspot is the town of Máncora, famous for its beaches and consistent surfing and still very much a fishing village, with a strong local identity and culture. Nearby are the villages and towns of Vichayito, Los Organos, Punta Sal and Zorritos. Along this stretch of the Peruvian coast, it is totally possible to find yourself all alone on a wild beach, just you, the surf and the birds.

Oh, and the food…otherworldly fresh fish straight out of the ocean, and some of the most unique ceviches with endemic clams, cooked by locals with the most amazing Peruvian seasoning.
A perfect end to a Peruvian journey, a dream playground to enjoy the sea at its fullest or just simply, a remote haven to relax and unwind.
