Listener Surf Trip
August 2026 | Chicama Boutique Hotel
August 2026 | Chicama Boutique Hotel
We’re headed back to Chicama Boutique Hotel in Peru, one of the longest lefts in the world. We did this trip in 2025 and had tremendous success. We scored chest-high surf through most days of the trip and we’re hoping for a few extra feet this time. We brought 20 guests last year and the line-up is so vast that everyone got plenty of waves. The boats (included in the price) shuttled us out to the line-up and then would also retrieve each of us after long rides and deposit us back at the top of the point. They do an incredible job and increased our wave count x5.
