It is located approximately 20 minutes paddling from Playa Norte or you can go by jet ski to the break, attracting both Peruvian and international surfers.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var(--e-global-color-lcolor2); font-family: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-family); font-size: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-size); font-style: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-style); font-weight: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-text-transform);\">During the winter swells, Pico Alto generates waves that can reach up to 7 or 8 meters. This challenge requires highly experienced and mentally prepared surfers to face these conditions. It is essential to have a GUN surfboard, colloquially called a \"picoaltera,\" to tackle the wave safely.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: var(--e-global-color-lcolor2); font-family: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-family); font-size: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-size); font-style: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-style); font-weight: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--e-global-typography-ltext1-text-transform);\">Known for hosting renowned events such as the Big Wave World Tour, held between July and August, Pico Alto continues to be a prominent spot for professional surfers.
