Aren’t you drooping of all the beaches in Peru with thousands of people on them? If you are looking for a beach that isn’t crowded, that you can eat well and that disconnects from the real world, stop looking because you found it. Wakama is the perfect, tropical beach for you. It provides everything you really need, not what you want and it actually feels like you are in a beach and not a city. Here are some reasons why this is the perfect place for anyone that just wants to have a good time.

All the beaches in Peru are full of people, Asia, Leon Dormido, Punta Hermosa, Costa Verde, etc. Wakama is the only beach where people aren’t on top of each other. Every beach that you go to, people are on top of each other and searching like a scavenger hunt to find a place to lay down. When you go in the ocean, you don’t have a place to have a good swim and the waves are horrible and full of sand. In Wakama, each person has their own space to lay down and talk without half of Lima hearing what you have to say. The ocean is calm but at the same time fun with organized waves and the water isn’t filled with sand, it actually feels that you are in water and not in sand. Also, most of common beaches are filled with trash, in this beach, everything is clean because people care about the environment.

Another reason of why Wakama is the matchless beach in Peru is that it is somewhere that you can eat like goddesses. I know this because I personally think this way and everyone I know that has gone there says the same thing. Also, Cosas said “Wakama es verdaderamente una playa única donde te puedes desconectar del mundo pero la comida es… solo podemos decir que se come como los dioses” Cosas is a really meaningful, highend magazine in Peru and it hasn’t said anything like that about any other beach. The food there is all fish and all the different tipical peruvian plates with fish. They serve the fish that they fished that day so it is very fresh for customers. Every plate is about 18–20 soles so it is affordable and those 18–20 soles are going to be worth it.

The last reason of why Wakama is the best beach ever is because you can totally disconnect and find yourself. What I mean by this is that it is a beach with no electricity, its eco and there is no real houses. This beach has no electricity, it has a generator that functions from 6:30pm to 1:30am and in the morning only one hour from 8–9 if you want to cook or something. This is amazing because this lets you be in nature and not on your phone or watching tv like you do in Lima. It also makes you disconnect from the real world because you aren’t talking to your friends all the time and on facebook and all the things we do on our phone. It is a eco beach because there are no roads, there is only sand and the houses aren’t the typical houses of Lima, they are actually beach houses made out of wood. This is amazing because it makes you feel that you are in a splendid and breathtaking beach.

You can experience an amazing weekend with your family or friends in the kilometer 174 for 500 dollars and rent a house for a whole week for 1000 dollars. The houses have four rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs, that is big and you can fit a lot of people in one house. I know that Wakama is the perfect beach for you to have an actual weekend where you can relax and have fun.
