Punta Hermosa
40 km from Lima, Punta Hermosa is a town of surfers and fishermen where life revolves around the ocean.
Good waves, tasty food and a calm energy on the Pacific. A refuge to slow down and enjoy the simple things.
Why Punta Hermosa and Chicama?
Two of the spots that make the Peruvian coast an incredible place to surf.
We start with the fundamentals in Punta Hermosa and finish at Chicama, in front of a wave that seems to never end. Good waves, great food, and time to enjoy the trip.
Did you know the world's longest left-hander is in Peru? It's at Chicama, in the quiet beach town of Puerto Malabrigo.
And this time, we want to share it with you.

An oceanfront space made for slowing down, reconnecting and being in the present moment. In the most exclusive, safest gated community in Punta Hermosa, steps from the ocean and close to town.
Right in front of the house breaks Pico Alto, the legendary wave that reaches 10 meters on its best days and that locals named “El Templo.”
Chicama
Did you know the longest left-hander in the world is in Peru? It's in Chicama, in the quiet beach town of Puerto Malabrigo.
Sections up to 2 km long. It's one of those places you have to experience at least once, and where you'll definitely catch the longest wave of your life.
Los Delfines de Chicama
In Chicama we stay at “Los Delfines de Chicama,” a cozy hotel looking right at the wave.
A laid-back feel, a restaurant with local specialties and a pool to relax in after surfing.

Getting to know Punta Hermosa and Chicama on one trip was an experience every surf lover should have. Beaches for different levels, varied Peruvian food, new surf friends and time to rest. I'd do it again, no doubt.”Francisco · Uruguay

Incredible group experience with El Templo! Going to Chicama and getting to enjoy two surf sessions a day, with a drone filming everyone, a boat to get to the best points and a comfortable hotel. I'm definitely going again!”Adriana · Spain
An incredible experience. Mar and Colo's vibe really mattered for having a good time, encouraging those of us going to Chicama for the first time and putting together a super relaxed itinerary, no pressure. I came back wanting to return.”Álvaro · Peru
Honestly, I found myself in the right place at the right time. It was so much fun, I hadn't laughed that much in a long time. The service, the people, the place right on the ocean... super super. Those of us who use surfing as therapy, finding people who join you in the therapy makes everything better. Really great!”Leandro · Argentina
