Peru’s northern coast is certainly the place to head for to get off the beaten track and discover a less-visited region of Peru.

With more than 1,000 Km of sun-kissed coastline, this area offers some of the best surfing beaches in the world including Huanchaco and Máncora.

Surfing aside, this region offers a perfect way to end a tour of Peru, with a few days in a boutique beach resort on Peru's northern coast.

Cultural attractions here include the colonial city of Trujillo, the archaeological sites around Chiclayo and the impressive adobe complex at Chan Chan, the largest pre-Columbian city in South America.
