What to Expect.

Endless off-shore winds, golden sunsets and the longest waves you’ve ever imagined, right at your doorstep. The smell of ancient civilization is everywhere, Peru is so special and complex as its own history.

Land to some of the most advanced cultures of the old world. 
The people from Peru have always been well connected with the ocean, ruling the oldest register of humans surfing waves with recreational purposes in this very same coast of more than 5000 years ago. We want to share Peru's profound connection with nature and its vast spirituality.

 
 
 

Trip Highlights

 
 

The Surf

Chicama mama is a big provider, there’s always a section of the headland working. When it comes alive, rides average a minute+ long and some people have had 2 km rides. It is a very spectacular scene.

Chicama Boutique Hotel

We will be in a prime position on the cliff top overlooking the ocean, watching the waves traveling down the point. Plus, enjoy the sauna, gym, surf room and the pool to relax whilst not surfing, and many hang out areas to chill and meet new friends; and most importantly, taste the exquisite Peruvian gastronomy while enjoying one of the most amazing sunsets ever.

The Bodywork

Experience the power of bodywork alongside the immersive experience of the retreat, and being surrounded by nature.

Where You’ll Stay

The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a private veranda and ceiling fans; there is no need for AC in this part of the world as the temperature drops significantly at night. Options as follows;

DOUBLE – ideal for a couple or very close friends.

TWIN – for not so close friends that want to share a room but not a bed.

SHARED TWIN – for the solo traveller willing to share with a friend not yet made.

SINGLE OCCUPANCY – for those willing to pay for a little more privacy and a bed all to themselves.

 
 
 

A Typical Day

We know that the thread that brought us here is mainly our passion– the surf. So consequently, it will be our guide throughout the week.
However, we have a scribble of how a day can look like and which are all the activities that will be part of the retreat to create a wholesome experience. We will have a day out with some surprises, and we will be chasing the swell into different spots nearby if it is required.

Being Present
(explore all the senses)

 

See

Chicama is found in a breath-taking set-up. As you walk towards the shore, the scene begins at the edge– On one side you face the immense Pacific Ocean, drawing ancestor waves traveling for thousands of kilometers with a perfect shape; and on the other side the dusty imponent Peruvian desert and its earthy cliffs. 

Once you take this click in, the revelation process starts: Discover how the birds encompass the wind sways, whether it’s the Harpia Eagle that circles in endless loops on top of the peaks or a flock of pelicans overflying the swell at dusk. [sigh] Its mesmerizing sunsets… don’t get us started!

Stepping deeper into its heritage,  one of our favorite discoveries is witnessing its invisible but yet present ancestral magic. We will take on a special trip to EL BRUJO one of the three pyramids at LA DAMA DEL CAO which opens the door to the epicentre of the Moche Culture who inhabited the area 3000 years ago and holds an incredible story. It really gives you a hint to understand the profound relationship this civilization had with the lands. And possibly the imprint that makes it so special.

Listen

And this is the layer that brought us to these corners of the earth and opened our hearts. The ocean is the biggest healer, and we all surfers are in the search for passion and inspiration. 

Nature provides and Chicama is one of those places where the focus narrows down into pure awareness. All what we do, we do it from the heart, and the coat we use to imprint these moments is an authentic desire to ‘inspire’ you. An intentional but yet effortless attempt to tap into life.

Our team is also part of the transparent ingredient that we want to share. We believe in serendipity, it proves every time! The members of this web will allow you to unfold, relax, laugh (lots of this one), learn, and be you! (Don’t want to show off, but the team is one of a kind!)

And then the magic that happens just if you allow it.

Touch

Through-out the week, the flow of the day is determined by the swell’s conditions.

However, the schedule offers a morning yoga class that warms you up for the first surf of the day. Followed by the best food and some rest to hit the ocean back for a sunset session.

The accommodation provides all sorts of amenities that will help you first land and then ground; and later will assist you to endure the physical side of the trip offering: spa, steam rooms, hot pools, etc.

We will also be offering You are The Sea treatments to deepen the practices and your own work if you choose to.

Taste

Peru is considered to be one of the South American hubs for their tasty, fresh cuisine. The Chicama Boutique Hotel will be highlighting your days with indescribable dainty dishes that of course we consider also a big part of the holistic jaunt. 

Because of its unique location, the country is known for its remarkable diversity of seafood and ingredients. Considering the varied ocean currents, the jungle, the desert and the mountain range, Peru covers a total area of 1,285,216 km2– Abundance is a small word for it! *Top must to* a Cusqueña beer or what we call the Pisco Hour, watching the sun go down.

Here is a good blog to learn about the food secrets: eatperu.com/blog/
