The home of the ancient Incas and enigmatic Machu Picchu, Peru<\/a> is currently making a name for itself as one of the world\u2019s premier food destinations. But in kitesurfing circles, it\u2019s also making waves as one of the most unique destinations \u2013 or should that be in the singular? As it\u2019s home to the world\u2019s longest kitesurfing wave.<\/p>\n

Pacasmayo<\/a><\/strong>
\nYou\u2019ll have to travel north from the national and gastronomic capital Lima to the more deserted shores of Northern Peru. This is a region known for its miles of endless desert, remote towns and wild landscapes. But over the last decade or so, more and more surfers and kiters have been heading here to check out Pacasmayo.<\/p>\n

This small town is where you\u2019ll find arguably the world\u2019s longest kiteable wave. And is even regarded by some as the best kitesurfing spot in the world. It\u2019s all backdropped by what looks like Death Valley, which is a little weird as you\u2019re right next to the ocean. There are few other towns, roads are sparse and you generally feel isolated travelling here. But it\u2019s well worth the effort and there\u2019s more than enough in the small town to keep you busy.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s not just Pacasmayo where you can kitesurf in northern Peru. It\u2019s also home to several other top resorts.<\/p>\n
