Program

We like to tailor each experience to the speed and desires of each of our guests. If you want to focus your trip on surfing, yoga or adventures or a balance of the both will be up to you. The balanced approach looks something like this:

Start the day with a light hike through one of our several wilderness areas that surround Ayampe followed by a delicious breakfast. Then an up tempo yoga practice followed by leisure time/time to explore the pueblo of Ayampe till lunch. For the afternoon; a siesta followed by a yin yoga practice or a surf class, free surf, bike ride, hike, scramble, swim, cooking class or simply relaxing in the hammock. Then top off the evening (with a cocktail) relaxing on the third floor deck watching the sun set over the islands. On any given day, we are also happy to make a full day, or half day excursion happen for you such as a boat trip to the Isla de la Plata, a horseback adventure through the peaks of the mountains in Rio Blanca, fishing, snorkeling, exploring hidden coves, check out an archeological site and springs, take bike rides, and much more.

We want this to be your trip, so in the end this itinerary is just a suggestion. You could have double surf lessons every day, or no surfing at all, or anything in between!

As mentioned above, we like to be flexible and let weather and natural conditions ultimately predict what activities are best suited day to day.

Included excursions

Horseback excursion to the highest peak in the area
Boat trip and snorkeling to Isla de la Plata
Excursions to hidden beaches and coves
Excursions to Los Friales National Park
