    We are not surfers, but from what everyone told us, the beaches around Lima are hot surfing destinations. In fact, one of the top surfers on the women's professional cicuit gre up surfing these beaches. I can't remember her Eastern European sounding name, but she is known by everyone in Lima as "La Gringa" even though she's a native Peruvian. In fact, she was named one of the top two most famous Peruvians this year -- the other being the Miss Universe winner.
    This surfing beach is right in Lima, below the cliffs of Miraflores. The water isn't very clean and my cousin got pretty cut up swimming unprotected here, but apparently the locals with the right equipment enjoy it -- there were around a hundred surfers in the water one Sunday.

     it is hard to walk around that heat with pants. My best purchase was hiking pants that have zippers below the knee. Not the baggy kind, straight leg,you can fold the legs and put them in a pocket or backpack.    		sachara Fri Apr 6, 2007 20:29 UTC
     Interesting Lima page. It's allready some years ago that I visited this place, but I didn't find the time (yet) to build a page.
