Nestled between the jungle and the Pacific Ocean on the Colombian west coast lies Terquito beach, a sun-toasted lush paradise in a blissfully uncrowded area, only a 30 minutes boat trip from Nuquí Airport. This area has been praised by many as an undiscovered surf paradise and as a “must-see” for those who are looking for waves in South America.
Thanks to its prodigious geographical position you will find excellent surf conditions for all kinds of surfing skill levels throughout the year. Warm water, majestic nature, humpback whales jumping on the horizon while you’re waiting for your next wave and much more are part of your perfect surf trip to Colombia. The program is designed for all those who want to learn to surf. No prior knowledge is required.
If you want to take your first steps in the world of surfing in front of a virgin and jungle beach, then you are now in the right place. Their surf guides and instructors will transmit the most important techniques of this sport and practice them together. Step by step we will increase the intensity until you manage to surf on your own.
The surf spots in the area are perfect to learn. The waves break on a sandbar, which makes them ideal for beginners. The surfing point is located in front of the lodge, so you can easily enter the water and practice between lessons at any time of the day. Newtours Colombia will also deliver important information about the tides, currents and safety measures that we must take into account.
As a complement to the program, Newtours Colombia will offer other activities to explore the surroundings and discover the rich culture of the zone. For example, excursions to waterfalls and hot springs, whale watching, visiting the Utria National Park, mangrove forests canoe tours or snorkeling in Cabo Corrientes, and much more.
