Chicama at its best.

Chicama Boutique · Surf Retreat 2027

A small group, everything taken care of, and probably the longest wave of your life.

Why Chicama?


Winter, more consistent south swells, and Peru's Fiestas Patrias holiday right in the middle.

A small group, everything taken care of, and probably the longest wave of your life.

Did you know the world's longest left-hander is in Peru? It's at Chicama, in the quiet beach town of Puerto Malabrigo. Sections up to 2 km long.

And this time, we want to share it with you.

Testimonials

The best part of every trip is the stories we take home.

Every group that comes to El Templo brings different people, stories and ways of living the sea. And when the trip ends, something always stays: new friendships, lots of laughs and memories that make you want to do it again.

Translated from Spanish

Getting to know Punta Hermosa and Chicama on one trip was an experience every surf lover should have. Beaches for different levels, varied Peruvian food, new surf friends and time to rest. I'd do it again, no doubt.”

Incredible group experience with El Templo! Going to Chicama and getting to enjoy two surf sessions a day, with a drone filming everyone, a boat to get to the best points and a comfortable hotel. I'm definitely going again!”
Adriana · Spain
Surfer on a wave in front of a rocky coast
An incredible experience. Mar and Colo's vibe really mattered for having a good time, encouraging those of us going to Chicama for the first time and putting together a super relaxed itinerary, no pressure. I came back wanting to return.”
Álvaro · Peru

I really enjoyed the experience. It was a trip to truly enjoy, with really good energy the whole time. And personally, as someone with celiac disease, I felt lucky to be able to eat a variety of food safely, which isn't always easy when you're traveling.”
