Huanchaco Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
place in La Libertad Region, Peru
About Huanchaco
Huanchaco is famous for its surfing and the local fishermen's "caballitos". It is a place to relax after visitingTrujillo's colonial centre & archaeological sites. It has a nice mellow beach vibe and lots of places to sleep and eat. While Peru's northern beaches are supposedly marvellous during the coastal summer (December–March), the winter brings cloudy days. Wetsuits mean that you can surf even during coastal winters, but during the months of June–September, be prepared to wear long sleeves in the evenings, and don't expect sunny days.
