General Overview

La Herradura means horseshoe in Spanish and the wave that breaks here, breaks dramatically off the cliffs on the southern part of this horseshoe shaped beach. It needs a big South swell to start working, but when it is on, it is the best wave close to Lima. Long rides with tube sections are commonplace.
