About South America

South America's Pacific coast is home to some of the world's longest and most technically interesting waves. Peru's Chicama is the longest left-hand wave ever surfed, a point break stretching nearly four kilometers that draws surfers from around the world. Máncora in northern Peru offers consistent surf camp conditions year-round. Chile's Pichilemu and Arica are big-wave and point-break destinations for advanced surfers. Brazil's southern coast, taking in Florianópolis, Saquarema, and Itacaré, has a vibrant school and club scene in warm Atlantic water. Ecuador's Montañita completes the circuit as a laid-back, affordable surf-camp hub.
