“It is said that the “marinera”, northern Peru’s emblematic dance, got its name from the movement of the female dancer’s skirt, which recalls the sea’s waves. And that is La Libertad, a place where the ocean defines its customs, cuisine, and experiences. A place where ancient culture remains alive in every reed raft seen off its beaches; where the world’s longest left-breaking wave attracts professional surfers.
In La Libertad, you can explore for yourself the ancient cultures that built Chan Chan, Huaca del Sol, and Huaca de la Luna, and El Brujo; and you can experience the living traditions present in the region’s magnificent cuisine.
La Libertad is the home of the “marinera”, Peru’s national dance, and a paradise for surfers.
Come and see it for yourself!”
