Huanchaco has many sides to it – the tourist side, local life, traditions, the poor side of town, the main drag and of course, the surfing. There are photos of the caballitos de totora – traditional Peruvian reed fishing boats which some say are the first form of surfing. View the magnificent sunsets in Huanchaco with the sky turning hues of pink and purple as the sun sinks into the sky. Also see the second oldest church in Peru – the white church on the hill in Huanchaco.
