Hi all,

I am heading to South America in December and was wondering if anyone has travelled over there to Kite. I will be spending time in Peru and Brazil and was wondering if anyone has any advise. I have friends in Rio and the beaches look great on google maps. Cheers

No advice here, however I spent 7 months in Sth America back in 2000.....travelled from top to bottom, and spent about a month in Peru.
I didnt kite back then, but zig zagged all the way down the coast into Chile, and recall a hell of a lot of coastline, some of it good, some bad, some areas very remote, and some nice uncrowded beaches near towns (a bit of surf here and there). Anyway thinking back, plenty of spots that would be great to kite if the wind was on. Be worth researching further!

Enjoy your trip

peru is not so good in december. during the southern hemisphere winter the coast of peru (pescasmayo/mancora and other points) goes off with waves that go for up to 1 km and side/side off winds 16/22k.

If you want wind for sure Jericoara in brazil is the place to be... it is windy even in off season; sort of like an around the clock WA (warm and sunny).
