Kitesurfing Holiday In Paracas

Paracas, around 4 hours from Lima, is one of the most wind-reliable kitesurf resorts we offer, without the crowds. You can go on a kitesurfing holiday to Paracas all year. Even in the lowest wind period of May - August, there are still around 60% kiteable days! In high season, from September to April, a kitesurf holiday to Paracas will leave you exhausted from kiting every day! The temperature is around 24c to 26c in the low season, getting up to the low 30's in summer (September to March).

Paracas is a very unusual place, and it is very little known among Europeans. There are very few places on the Planet where you can find that rare combination of beautiful scenery, wildlife, luxury hotels, and world-class kitesurfing (for both flat water and waves). This location is perfect for a learn-to-kitesurf holiday, and a family kitesurf holiday. For kitesurf beginners (and Wingfoilers) the conditions are literally perfect. Super flat water, consistent medium-strength wind, and a huge area with lots of space. For families, there is a choice of 4 and 5-star beach resorts very close to the Kitesurf beach to keep the whole family happy.

Paracas is also straightforward to get to, with daily flights from all major European and North American airports to Lima, followed by a 3.5-hour raid transfer.

The main kitesurfing area is a huge flat-water lagoon that borders a nature reserve. The wind blows side-onshore from the right. If you kite to the opposite side of the lagoon, the super clean cross-offshore wind creates an amazing ‘speed spot’ with butter-flat water. Our partner kitesurf school in Paracas offers regular trips to the Nature Reserve, which has some ocean-side wave spots; this makes for a great day out.

But this country is more than just incredible kitesurfing, from Lima you can easily reach The Amazon, and Machu Picchu, making for an incredible holiday combination. For those who are really into Kitesurfing Waves, the world-class spots of Pacasmayo and Mancora can also be combined with Paracas. See our ‘suggest tour below’, or speak to one of our Peru kitesurf holiday specialists who can construct the perfect Peru itinerary to fit your budget and requirements. As always, we have been to all the locations we offer, both on and off the water, so you can be sure of an amazing holiday experience when booking with Planet!
