It was a Scotsman that first had the foresight to invest in the local area and this was done solely to extract the vast quantities of petroleum found underground. There is more to this place than just surfing, there is much more to do here. You can go to the local caves, take a boat to observe the sea lions etc. Surfing in this place is full of great surprises and the spots are very consistent and virtually always offshore. The locals are mainly fishermen by trade but slowly are moving away from this industry to work in local government services. There are plenty cheap and easy forms of transport in Peru. Getting to Talara is easy enough from many internal destinations.
