Huanchaco will be the fifth World Surfing Reserve. The Peruvian surf area offers consistent, clean surf and ancient pre-Colombian history as a seafaring town. Huanchaco will be the first surf region in Latin America to be granted the status of World Surfing Reserve, after Malibu, Ericeira, Manly-Freshwater and Santa Cruz. The strong ocean culture of Huanchaco is also credited with being the birthplace of Peru’s “caballito de totora” – a small reed fishing boat and one of humanity’s earliest known surf crafts used to ply the waves for both work and pleasure.
