The two places we really wanted to see in Northern Peru were quite a drive and would have meant a lot of backtracking by car anyway, so it might not have been a bad thing to have a break from driving for a couple of weeks and go by bus.
Our first stop was Puerto Chicama, famed for being the longest left hand wave in the world, and it didn't disappoint.
It's a very basic town with few amenities, but the locals are super friendly and welcoming and it's got a really nice chilled vibe. Since unfortunately we couldn't bring our boards we ended up renting, hence the photo of me looking like I've gone back in time to the eighties!
The waves weren't massive but that suited us fine as they were just super fun. Both of us got the longest waves of our lives without a doubt. No crowds, happy days. Would DEFINITELY come back to Puerto Chicama.
