Besides Chicama, Peru has many other world-class waves to be explored. The country is also known for having well preserved archaeological sites that thousands of tourists come to see every year. The most famous one is Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city, high in the Andes mountains. There are also many other ruins in the Sacred Valley and on the Inca Trail, including the colonial city of Cusco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peru\u2019s pacific coast is very dry and arid but it\u2019s still possible to find beauty in the desert scenery. There is a huge variety of waves scattered all over the coastline and a lot of them are extremely long left-handers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most surfers coming to Peru are seeking the longest rides of their lives, unforgettable adventures and to explore the ancient Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. If you haven\u2019t been to this amazing country yet, you have to add it to your list!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surfing in Peru<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Why surf in Peru?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peru is famous for having world-class waves in the middle of the desert scenery. On the northern part of the country, you will find some amazing surf spots like Lobitos, Chicama and Pacasmayo. These three waves are unbelievably long left-handers that will make your legs burn before you get to the finish of the wave. The coastline of Peru receives swell from all directions, which means that there are waves all year round. The best part of it is that it\u2019s still very uncrowded since the country is still out of the radar of the surf community. The most famous waves might have some crowd, but since there are so many options of breaks there will always be an empty line up waiting for you and\/or your crew.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Climate in Peru<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peru has many types of climate. Although the coast is situated in the tropical zone, the weather in Peru is very mild. The coast has a semi-arid weather with very little rainfall. On the mountains of the Andes, you will find a colder climate with very dry winters and rainy summers. The average temperature in the country during summertime is between 20-25 degrees Celsius (December to March). This season is warmer but also wetter. The winter (May to September) is very dry in the whole country with an average temperature between 10-20 degrees Celsius.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Best time to go<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surfing in the winter in Peru<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winter is the most consistent season to surf in Peru although it\u2019s when the water is colder. The average swell height is from 6-8ft from June until September. The biggest swells arrive during this season and it\u2019s the perfect time to surf the waves from the south coast to the north coast of Lima. It\u2019s the best time of the year to visit surf spots like Chicama, Punta Hermosa, Centinelas and many other perfect long leg-burning waves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surfing in the summer in Peru<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The coastline of Peru is very exposed to many swell directions and has consistent waves all year round. Summer is the best time of the year to surf in the north coast of the country.

On a good day, you can catch waves that go for 2 km. In order to do that you have to connect all the sections until you reach the beach. Usually, the surfer starts at the main peak and catch several waves to make their way to the beach where you can either go back walking to the peak or pay the zodiac to take you back. The best time of the year to visit this spot is between May and June when there are consistent 6 ft swell that makes the waves easier to connect allowing you to have the longest ride of your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Pacasmayo<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404341 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-4-22-19-pm.png?resize=660%2C387&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-4-22-19-pm.png?w=670&amp;ssl=1 670w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-4-22-19-pm.png?resize=300%2C176&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-4-22-19-pm.png?resize=426%2C250&amp;ssl=1 426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-92.png?resize=660%2C495&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-92.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-92.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-92.png?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-92.png?resize=333%2C250&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-92.png?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This surf spot is also known as \u201cEl Faro\u201d and is often considered the most consistent break of the country. The wave breaks to the left on top of a rocky reef and can be almost as long as Chicama. Most surfers that are visiting the north of Peru choose to stay here and when the swell picks up drive to other spots that are not as consistent like Chicama (only 40 min driving). Since the spot is a swell magnet there is always a crowd but the different sections and the constant sets provide waves for everyone. The best time of the year is between April and October but there is plenty of action all year round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Lobitos<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404339 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-93.png?resize=660%2C424&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-93.png?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-93.png?resize=300%2C193&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-93.png?resize=768%2C493&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-93.png?resize=389%2C250&amp;ssl=1 389w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-93.png?resize=654%2C420&amp;ssl=1 654w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404338 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?resize=660%2C440&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?resize=375%2C250&amp;ssl=1 375w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-94.png?resize=630%2C420&amp;ssl=1 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404337 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-95.png?resize=660%2C442&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-95.png?w=970&amp;ssl=1 970w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-95.png?resize=300%2C201&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-95.png?resize=768%2C514&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-95.png?resize=374%2C250&amp;ssl=1 374w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-95.png?resize=628%2C420&amp;ssl=1 628w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This classic surf spot is located 70 km south of Mancora. Like most of the famous breaks in the country, this wave is a long left-hander that breaks on top of a rocky bottom. There are 4 sections that work on different tides and with different swell size. The first peak is called Baterias and it&#8217;s the most consistent one, working from 2-10 ft especially on the low tide when the barrels get really hollow and perfect. The second peak is called El Hueco and is the section that has the best barrel, consequently the most crowded one. Sometimes El Hueco can link with the next section that is the one that is actually called Lobitos because of the many sea lions in the area. The last section is called Piscinas and it\u2019s the easiest one and less crowded, but still can get a bit fast on the inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Mancora<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404336 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-35-49-pm.png?resize=616%2C379&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"616\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-35-49-pm.png?w=616&amp;ssl=1 616w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-35-49-pm.png?resize=300%2C185&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-35-49-pm.png?resize=406%2C250&amp;ssl=1 406w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404335 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-38-32-pm.png?resize=622%2C399&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-38-32-pm.png?w=622&amp;ssl=1 622w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-38-32-pm.png?resize=300%2C192&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-20-at-5-38-32-pm.png?resize=390%2C250&amp;ssl=1 390w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This small fishing village is located in the north of Peru and has a very consistent and long left-hander.

It needs a big north swell to fire up but when it does is probably one of the best in Peru. The wave breaks on top of a reef bottom and the take-off is steep and straight into the barrel. Big rocks stick out of the water dangerously close to the lineup so make sure you commit and nail the barrel. You will never forget this spot if you score a good day there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>CENTRAL COAST<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Centinela<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404332 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-7-52-12-pm.png?resize=542%2C326&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"542\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-7-52-12-pm.png?w=542&amp;ssl=1 542w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-7-52-12-pm.png?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/screen-shot-2019-02-18-at-7-52-12-pm.png?resize=416%2C250&amp;ssl=1 416w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-404331 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?resize=660%2C243&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?resize=300%2C110&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?resize=768%2C282&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?resize=1024%2C376&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?resize=680%2C250&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?resize=1000%2C368&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nomadsurfers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-96.png?w=1320&amp;ssl=1 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not many people know about this secret spot so it\u2019s usually uncrowded.

There are many surf contests in this spot that attracts a lot of attention to the break so it\u2019s usually crowded. The wave breaks near the headland for both sides but the right is better forming long rippable walls. On the high tide, the wave breaks near the rocks and you can find an occasional barrel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surfing in Peru: what is your traveling style?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Luxury \/ Nice \/ Upscale Surfing in Peru<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to disconnect with the world for a while and go on a holiday that you never want to go home from, we recommend you to consider visiting a surf and yoga retreat hotel in Mancora District in Piura. You will experience your vacation in an idyllic location with a zen vibe, combined with exciting action like canoeing and a lot of surfing. The pacific ocean is just a few steps down from your cabin and yoga classes are available for those who want to take a moment to reconnect with themselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price: From 280 USD per night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Surf boat Charters in Peru<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no surf charter is Peru. The only boat you will need on your trip is the little zodiac that will take you back to the line up after a long ride in Chicama. There are many boats like these providing this service so you don\u2019t have to walk back on the beach to catch another wave. It\u2019s a bit expensive and some people think is cheating not to paddle so there is this classical dilemma about taking or not taking the boat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Budget Surfing in Peru<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are traveling on a budget, there are plenty of alternatives for you as well. You can find friendly and affordable hotels just a hundred meters from the beach where you will find one of the longest surfable left-handers in the world. The friendly staff members will make you feel at home and give you a memorable stay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From around 20-35 USD\/day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Kids and Teen Surf Camps<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to learn how to surf in an exotic scenery, surrounded by white sand beaches, Peru is an amazing destination for you. The country has a high consistency of waves and offers incredible long rides, which is perfect for learning how to surf. There are places that offer surf packages for beginners, intermediates and also coaching, it\u2019s only up to you to tell us what level you are. You would stay in a unique and cozy hotel known for its ecological conception with a peaceful atmosphere and vibe in a secluded beach. Besides the surf, Peru has a very rich culture and amazing local food recognized internationally.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 90 USD\/day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Groups<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peru has a very long coastline (2,400 km) with many uncrowded waves waiting to be found by you and your best mates. The country is still out of the radar of the international surf community and it only has more or less 12 000 surfers. The most famous spots are going to have a crowd, especially near the capital, Lima. If crowded spots is not your thing and you and your friends are willing to have a road trip adventure to find perfect waves in the middle of the desert, Peru will definitely deliver what you are looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0<\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peru Travelling Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Packing and equipment: what should I pack for a surf holiday in Peru\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are traveling to Peru don\u2019t forget to pack your wetsuits. The water can be really cold in the south. Up north the water is warmer, especially at the extreme north close to Ecuador where you can surf just with board shorts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are visiting the country during the winter the temperatures are lower than in the summer and you might need to bring a pair of shoes and a jacket for the nights when the temperature drops a lot because of the desertic and dry weather. This is the season that the water gets colder so you have to bring your steamer to keep you nice and warm during the long surf sessions. If you are traveling there in the summer you might experience a few rainfalls, so don\u2019t forget to bring a rain jacket. If you want to do other activities besides surfing, for example, a hike in the mountains, we would recommend you to bring a pair of suitable hiking shoes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might be a good idea to buy a sim card after arriving in the country. Find a store where they sell sim cards from the main companies, Claro or Movistar. The sim card will cost you around 5 USD and you should buy some credit to get started as well (7 USD should be enough).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrical plugs are the same as in the US, which is two flat plugs. If you are from Europe or Australia you will need to buy an adaptor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Basic Info about Peru<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After Brazil and Argentina, Peru is the third biggest country in South America. The country has impressive natural landscapes that varies all over the country, from beaches to rain forests and from deserts to mountains. The country is multilingual, which means that the population uses more than one language, but the official one is Spanish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We would recommend you to learn some basics in Spanish before traveling to Peru since it can be a little bit difficult to communicate with the people in the non touristic areas. Learning a few basic words and sentences will make your travels easier, less stressful and more fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The local currency is called Sol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Sol = 0,30 USD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Before Going to Country<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visa \/ Documents<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australian citizens don\u2019t need a visa to enter the country. All they need is a valid visa and a return ticket, and then it\u2019s possible to stay for 183 days as longest (not possible to extend). The same rules goes for most American and Western European countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaccines \/ Health<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to recommendations from the CDC and WHO, travelers get the following vaccines before traveling to the country:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Routine Vaccines<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yellow Fever. It\u2019s not required to have proof of yellow fever when entering the country.

The climate is very dry and arid in most of the coast so you should be safe. However, if you adventure yourself deep in the mountains or in the amazon forest you should use a lot of bug spray to avoid any mosquito bites to prevent malaria.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><b>Getting to Peru<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are over 200 airports in Peru, but the most important ones are:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jorge Ch\u00e1vez International Airport which is located in Callao, close to Lima City Center.

The train service is also very limited to touristic areas. Therefor, the easiest and fastest way to get around the country is by plane. Flying between the bigger cities like Cusco, Lima, Iquitos, and Arequipa is easy, affordable and the most convenient way of getting around. You will also move a lot by car to reach the most secluded and desert surf spots.
