PUNTA ROCAS
Your Punta Rocas apartment is located in the heart of the surf coast of Peru, within a safe and quiet gated community in front of the famous Punta Rocas surfing break. Punta Rocas is just around the corner from Punta Hermosa, Peru's surf capital. From your apartment you can easily explore dozens of kilometers of other world-renowned surf spots.
Punta Rocas is rated as one of the most consistent waves in the Americas. The waves arrive from the Pacific Ocean and break to the left and to the right on a rocky promontory. The point is capable of sustaining very large waves up to 4-5 meters. In the nearby Pico Alto break, the waves reach up to more than 10 meters!
Punta Rocas is the venue for the 2019 Pan-American Games in July-August 2019. It will be the center of one of the largest surfing competitions in the Americas.
Just think about it, have access throughout the year to enjoy and train in these legendary Peruvian surf breaks! Imagine the possibilities, right at your door!
The location and surroundings of Punta Rocas are ideal for both the seaseoned surfer and the whole family!
This could be your dream winter escape; remember it's summer in Peru during the northern hemisphere winter!

In addition to surfing, you and your family can enjoy the wide sandy beaches right outside your door. There are dozens of restaurants along the beach to enjoy the famous seafood of Peru (particularly the ceviche, a dish of fish marinated in acidic lemon juice and seasoned with onions, herbs and sweet potatoes). For the family your apartment is only 700 meters from the nearby Club el Bosque, which has multiple swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, gym, restaurants, etc. for its members.
Only 15 kms to the north are the famous pre-Inca ruins in Pachacamac. The site was first established around 200 a.d. and was named after the god of the "creator of the earth" Pacha Kamaq. The site flourished as an important cultural center for about 1,300 years until the arrival of the Spaniards.
