Why Punta Hermosa and Lima?

Closing out the year at El Templo.

Quiet beaches, good water for learning, Lima an hour away, and a week to slow down before December. Today's homework: live in the moment.

40 km from Lima, Punta Hermosa is a town of surfers and fishermen where life revolves around the ocean. Good waves, great food, and a calm energy right on the Pacific.

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

Where we'll be

Punta Hermosa

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

Honestly, I found myself in the right place at the right time. It was so much fun, I hadn't laughed that much in a long time. The service, the people, the place right on the ocean... super super. Those of us who use surfing as therapy, finding people who join you in the therapy makes everything better. Really great!”
Leandro · Argentina
Surfer on a wave, with another waiting behind
We had it all: full-on surf, sooo many laughs, incredible food, comfortable places to stay, fun and peace of mind in the water with the coaches, memories in videos and photos, can't-miss spots in a Peru whose waves don't have to envy any other country's. Thank you!”

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.”

El Templo has an essence that from the very first minute leads you to find yourself and recognize yourself among the people who visit. The good vibes, the camaraderie among people who come from different places but share a love for the ocean. A place to visit a thousand times without thinking twice.”
Diego · Chile
