Besides the surf lessons, you can train and go for some free surfing whenever you want. The Indigan Surf Hostel is not even a five-minute walk to the surf spot! Besides surfing, you can hang out in town; Huanchaco is a nice, relaxed town where you can chill at the beach, enjoy the delicious Peruvian food in one of the plenty restaurants, or have a drink at night.

If you are interested in Peru´s culture, some famous archaeological sites of the pre-Columbian cultures of the Chimus and Moches are very close. The Indigan Surf Hostel is a small hostel with eight rooms. In the shared kitchen and terrace, you will always meet other guests and there is always a place for a short or longer chat but if you prefer to have some time alone, you can just retire to your room.

Once you arrive in Huanchaco, Urcia Surf School will figure out what time you can start best with the surf lessons, depending on the tides and your condition; they will adapt the schedules on the sea and your preferences so you will surely have a great time!

Instructors

John Urcia

John is the main surf trainer and surf coach of Urcia Surf School. Practicing surf from 20 years ago, he was competing in his early years and became Peru's vice-champion in 2007. He has been working for surf competitions for 10 years and organizing surf competitions for two years. What makes him so special is that he has a lot of experience with beginners (also at daily work, he still holds most of the classes) as well as with professionals. He is training Peru's best riders, who are competing worldwide! For him, surfing is a vocation.

Location

The surf hostel is located two blocks away from the beach "La Curvita" in Huanchaco, where you can always count on good surfing conditions, especially for beginners and intermediate surfers. Huanchaco is an extraordinary surf destination in Peru. Huanchaco has consistent waves, thousands of years of surf history, excellent hospitality, and competitions for all ages. There are five separate breaks in Huanchaco, stretching across over a kilometer of beaches, for all different surf levels.

Most breaks here work at all tides. Currents in Huanchaco can be strong. Although the currents are usually not dangerous, they can certainly give you a workout! In September, along with the start of the Peruvian spring, sand movements begin; the rocky beaches can be covered with sand until the summer. These sand movements can cause some small variation in the breaks and their position.
