punta faro
Edit SpotAbout
very nice place
bad karma guys say:
Yes but to get robbed, got two tires blown up with planted long nails we just kept going with the flat tires until we got stuck, thanks god we drove far enough.
Atmosphere:
its very far from any city. winds sometimes ruin it but doesnt blow all day.
It's more an off road trip than a surf trip. Sand is blown every where, everything you eat is seasoned with it, think twice before you go there since there are so many good waves in Peru. Lobitos paid off big time.
Additional Info:
you need someone to know were it is to find it. its a fun mission.
It's sad how "surf guides" sell you the trip of a lifetime, and finally after several hours of driving and days of very uncomfortable conditions , terrible food and lame camping equipment you end up surfing closed out ultra fast unmakeable stuff that doesn't pay off.
im telling ya, go with known surfer or youl have a deseption
