NileGuide Expert tip:
Recommendable in summer
Description:
San Bartolo used to be a spot for fishermen, and is still one of the preferred places for spending summer weekends or weeks; it has something for everyone. Some quiet corners for families with children, some good waves for surfers, restaurants for gourmets (and for all budgets), a nice town for relaxing, and a joyful nightlife for the young ones. Some of its best appreciated spots are El Peñascal (in the north) and el Huayco y la Ribera Norte. La Ribera Sur has rocks and many breakwaters, which makes it perfect for people who enjoy water sports. There are some hostels and many local families rent houses and apartments; you may find a good offer in Lima newspapers (in the classified ads section). The best season here is summer, but it is also a nice choice in winter if you are looking for some solitude or for a hideaway from the noisy city.
