A stellar surf and yoga retreat at one of the longest waves in the world: Chicama, Peru.

One time pop-up Retreat Trip
<< April 25 – May 2 // May 2 – 9, 2020 >>
Completed with no upcoming dates

In a special place where the Peruvian desert meets the Pacific, there’s a legendary wave many consider to be one of the longest waves in the world. Located in northern Peru in a small rural town called Puerto Malabrigo, Chicama is a sand-bottom point break with the potential for rides of over half a mile. Yes, you read that right.

While Chicama doesn’t produce those half-mile rides every day, its reputation has made it high on the wave bucket list of many a surfer around the world. When the conditions are on you might just score the longest waves of your life, but even on an average session, Chicama will offer up fun playful sections suitable for different levels.

Soul & Surf hosts ongoing surf and yoga retreats at their very cool properties in Sri Lanka and India, as well as Pop-Ups to explore different surf locales around the globe. For two weeks this spring, Soul & Surf will be taking their Pop-Up to Peru with two week-long all-inclusive trips to Chicama based at a boutique hotel with spectacular views of the surf break. The trips are April 25 – May 2 and May 2 – May 9, 2020.

The Soul & Surf team brings years of experience to their retreats, and the Pop-Ups feature the same awesome vibes and style that guests have fallen in love with in Sri Lanka and India. The daily schedule includes a mix of surfing, yoga, delicious food, as well as plenty of opportunity for relaxation at the hotel, or exploring the surrounding area if you prefer.

If you’re relatively new to surfing or interested in learning, this Pop-Up is designed for all surf abilities – from beginners and early-stage learners through to the most advanced of shredders. Daily surf lessons are included in your trip, and the Soul & Surf crew will always be on hand to guide you to the waves that are right for you.

Whether Chicama has been on your list for years or you’re just getting started in your surfing career, Soul & Surf’s Pop-Up is a wonderful opportunity to experience the magic of surfing Peru with a great group of people.

Features

Inside

The rooms are spacious and comfy with a private veranda either overlooking the ocean or garden. Choose from a Double Room (ideal for couples or friends), Twin Room (for amigos who want to share a room but not a bed), or a Shared Twin (for solo travelers).

Outside

The hotel is positioned on a hill overlooking the beach with sweeping views of the surf so you can check conditions throughout the day. The property also has a beautiful pool (with epic views!) and not one, but two hot tubs to ease your muscles after all that surfing.

Eat & Drink

Peruvian food is a highlight. A blend of tastes from the Andean country have been put together in a creative a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is a hearty buffet with lots of healthy options available. Your trip includes all meals, plus coffee, snacks, and a number of beers and soft drinks.

The Surf

chicama surf camp

Chicama is about 300 miles north of Lima and is one of the longest sand-bottom left points in the world. This area picks up swell from the south and the west, but the best direction is from the southwest. These southwest swells march up through the Pacific and hit Chicama forming perfect left-handers lining the point. The point can hold swell from knee high to double overhead. The hotel offers a tow back service to take you back to the top of the point. This gives you the opportunity to increase your wave count without having to walk back to the top of the point.

WATER TEMP: Apr – Oct: 57 – 68 °F (12 – 18 °C); Oct – Apr: 65 – 75 °F (16 – 22 °C)

PEAK SURF SEASON: mid Apr – mid Oct
