Peru offers amazing trekking possibilities and archeological sites, but did you know that its geographic location on the Pacific Ocean also makes it water sports friendly? Peru is a great water sports destination, with perfect waves for surfers and great winds for kite-surfing.

Situated in the northern part gaziantep escort of the country, this coastal region may lack the amazing trekking through snow-capped mountains and famous archeological sites experienced in Cusco or Huaraz – but it has its own unique range of activities.

To my surprise, Pacasmayo turned out to be a very fulfilling spot and later became my primary base for exploring the most important archaeological spots in the northern coast of Peru.
