Challenge Fins — Chorrillos

Accommodations in Chorrillos lean toward functional, local stays rather than large-scale resorts. Swimmers typically find modest apartments or refurbished colonial-era houses near the fishing pier, ranging from $50 to $120 per night. For those preferring proximity to the starting line, small boutique guesthouses offer direct access to the coastal paths. Camping is not permitted on the urban beaches of the Costa Verde, so booking in advance is essential as the waterfront area remains a popular weekend destination for the residents of Lima.

The area surrounding the Morro Solar offers a mix of maritime and cultural pursuits. Beyond the race, visitors often head to the local pier for ceviche tastings, a staple of the Chorrillos fishing tradition. Kayaking and SUP sessions are frequently organized in the calmer pockets near the reefs, while the trails scaling the Morro Solar provide challenging trekking with a panoramic view of the coastline. For history enthusiasts, the nearby archaeological huacas provide a look at the pre-Hispanic urban planning of the region.
