💼 What the programme involves

Enjoy the ocean outdoors with Surfing, other fun activities and new friends! Pimentel is a great surfing destination as the weather forecasts are pleasant all year round.The perfect wave conditions attract sport addicts from all over the world! Absolute beginners wanting to try surfing or people needing a refresher course are both welcome to take part in our surfing experience and enjoy the perfect conditions Peru has to offer. Even though Pimentel is a cozy, little seaside town, it hosts competitions throughout the year, which gives it a great surfing vibe. The waves are also moderated, which make it the perfect destination for beginners as well as for people who want to improve their surfing skills. Besides the surfing opportunities, this program will gives you the opportunity to get involved with: Emu, Ostriches and Rheas (the native of the Americas in danger of extinction, related to ostrich and emu. There were formerly two, but now three recognized extant species), Leather and crafts Fashion Design/Product Development. It is a relaxing week, so in your free times you will be able to plan your trips to get to know the surroundings and have also fun with other friends! The surf school will provide all the necessary gear including a wetsuit and the surfboard.

🏠 Accommodation on site

About the Accommodation : This unique guest house is on the site of a Peruvian ostrich zoo. You'll be surrounded by these friendly large flightless birds and see first hand how they are raised by experienced caregivers...who will also be looking after you! Food Arrangements : The food will be typically Peruvian meaning a lot of corn, beans, rice, chilli peppers, potatoes, wheat, and other grain, all very vegetarian friendly. Keep in mind that some local dishes may be spicy!

📍 About the location

Pimentel is a small seaside town that is only half an hour from the much bigger city of Chiclayo. It has plenty of amenities, and though small, is a bustling coastal area. Beautiful beaches are nearby for you to enjoy!
