Program

In the 13th year organizing this camp, Kite Sisters welcomes you to the Peruvian endless summer destination: the sunny, warm, and beautiful north shore coast of Peru.

North Shore Peru is one of the out-of-the-radar pearls on the Kitesurfing map in South America. Here you can have everything you need to make your Kitesurf holidays a real adventure into a wild, uncrowded and epic destination.

They cannot stop repeating this but nowadays, it is priceless: no crowds and wind. In north Peru, you can expect wind every day and miles and miles of beaches just for you, with conditions for all levels of kiteboarding; from beginners' spots to perfect waves to give your first steps (or improve) in your wave riding including safe and fun downwinders along the windy Peruvian coast.

In addition, their stunning beachfront villa will also be your Kite Center. Yes: kite in, kite out. Take a break in the palapas, jump in the pool, grab a snack, and kite again. The Kite Sisters Villa is located in an exclusive gathered community, with its private beach just a few minutes from a traditional fishing Village.

This camp is open to full beginners to advanced riders looking to explore and improve in all different disciplines: freeride, freestyle, high jumps, and wave riding. For advance riders looking to push their kiting on waves, their experienced coach and Kite Sisters co-founder will be in charge of the Wave Riding Clinics, taking place between their local private beach and the best wave-riding spot in the area, only 15 minutes away.

Here is precisely where the Pacific Ocean gets warm. The desert and wild landscape, small and traditional fishing villages; fresh, local, exquisite gastronomy; and sunny windy beaches make it the perfect scenario to enjoy an epic kitesurfing experience.

This is the camp that you want to join if you just want to kite, unwind, and relax in an uncrowded spot. Enjoy delicious meals, a private beach, a unique spot, and the company of like-minded women.
