Pico Alto - Punta Hermosa: The largest and most spectacular wave to be found in Peru. It is a point break (with left and right running sections, although surfers tend to go more for the latter).
It is perfect long-running waves can stretch to 10 meters in height. Not for beginners. The beach draws a lot of visitors in the summer (January to March), when dozens of hostels, restaurants and discos are open. Only 43 Km south of Lima down the South Pan-American Highway; apt for all vehicles. (PromPerú)
