Peru still remains a secret spot within the surfing community. With year-round swells, miles of coastline and surf spots to choose from, inexpensive prices, and friendly locals, Peru is a destination that needs to be added to any surfer’s list.

 

The town of Lobitos is known for its amazing surfing, and the Lobitos Surf camp is an excellent accommodation during your stay.

 

The management at the Lobitos Surf camp believes, first and foremost, in customer service. Making guests feel at home is their utmost priority and this comes through in how they run everything at the hotel, from the accommodations to the dining.

THE ACCOMMODATION

Lobitos Surfcamp opened in 2009. The hotel has been designed cabana-style, with a wooden structure and glass doors.There are 10 rooms in the hotel. Each room comes with your own private bathroom, hot water, cable television, and Internet Wi-Fi. Although the hotel comes with modern amenities, the detailing within the hotel like straw roofs and bamboo furniture make one feel like they are truly on a tropical island paradise.

 

Meals are cooked onsite at Lobitos Surfcamp and can be included with your package. The chef at the surf camp specializes in fresh seafood and fish. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all served at the camp. Load up on delicious food before heading out and catching waves. Like the surf, this is cuisine you won’t find anywhere else.

 

When you are not surfing, there is still plenty to do. The camp offers ping-pong tables and yoga classes. Relax on the beach in a hammock with a cold beer. Or, walk into the town of Lobitos and say hello to the friendly locals. The village is geared towards the surfing culture and everybody loves to chat. With endless sunshine, crystal clear waters, and sandy beaches, this is truly paradise.

THE ACTIVITIES

The hotel is directly on the beach in Lobitos. Imagine, waking up in the morning, walking onto the beach and hitting the surf! There are many beaches to choose from. In less than 2 km, you can surf such popular destinations as El Hueco, Baterias, La Frontera, Piscinas and El Muelle.

 

Many beaches means that there is never a crowd at one single location!

  • El Hueco: This spot produces full barrels that you can ride in forever. This is one of the best spots in the area, with riding open all winter long. This spot breaks left and the bottom is sand and rock. Intermediate to advanced experienced riders only.
  • Baterias: A good option when El Hueco and Lobitos are not available. This is a left reefbreak that works year round.
  • La Frontera: This section is connected to El Hueco and is another great spot for surfing. Large waves, big tube riding.
  • Piscinas: This surf spot is located on a nearby military facility. With a sand and reef bottom, this is a fun area to catch some smaller waves. Novices can start out here.
  • El Muelle: A tubular beachbreak with year-round surfing. Intermediate experience is required.

 

Lobitos is a great destination for those who are looking to get away from the crowded surfing of many other locations. When a north swell comes in, surfers can expect breaks of 10 feet or more. With so many different surfing locations, you will have plenty of room to yourself. These are perfect conditions to surf and ride a barrel.

 

Unlike many destinations which have a surf season, Lobitos has great breaks all year long.

 

Bodyboarding, kitesurfing and other water sports are extremely popular in this area. Beginners through experts can all find something to satisfy them here.
