However, whilst Peru is renowned for its gorgeous amazing attractions, there is a new undercurrent of tourism growing in the preferred South American travel location. As such, visitors are flocking to Peru to seek out the country's reputation for intensive sports; and one of the most favorite of these sports is paragliding. Peru's attractive tremendous mountain terrain and vast unspoilt landscape provide panoramic views that make it an memorable location for paragliding. What's more, low-turbulence laminar winds make Peru an ideal location for practicing those hard paragliding manoeuvres that most environment conditions would not permit. As well as continuing to grow in popularity as a paragliding location, Peru has also developed a reputation as a surfing destination, particularly amongst spring break students. Peru's enviable position on the Pacific Ocean means Peru can offer surfers some of the longest hills that are to be found anywhere in the world. In fact, such dunes - which often grow for numerous kms - mixed with its reliable weather and relatively unspoilt beaches make Peru an ideal location for a surfing holiday. Very likely the most prominent of all Peru's surfing locations is Chicama; with hills that can expand more than 4kms, Chicama is the specialist surfer's perfect come to true. In addition, 60km up the coast lies another of Peru's most preferred surfing locations, Pacasmayo; whilst the hills don't tend to be as long, they can still attain all-around 500 metres in length. Although famous with surfers, over the past few years the area has also begun to attract a large number of kite and wind surfers. With wind-speeds averaging around 14 knots, the area is appropriate for such h2o spots, the wonderful Peruvian coast supplying an amazing backdrop for an memorable surfing holiday. While Peru's warm oceans and long waves have made it a haven for surfers, its rugged mountains and high peaks make it a mecca for mtn climbers. One of the most favorite ascending spots is the Cordillera Blanca mtn area near Huaraz. Although the mountainous region offers various peaks for climbers to enjoy, Huascaran - Peru's highest peak - always proves to be the most famous. Sitting high above the Rio Santa valley, Huascaran offers unforgettable views of the Peruvian countryside and a challenging climb to mountaineers of all levels. Peru's growing number of extreme sports means that the place is making a worldwide name for itself as one of Latin America's most preferred severe sports holiday attractions. The wide range of flights to Peru, scenic open spaces and growing number of resorts specialising in intensive sports all make Peru an captivating vacation spot once considering your next adventure holiday.
