DESTINATIONS

Mayapo is the perfect spot to arrive and gather, offering a gorgeous view of the turquoise waters of the ocean. This place will help you relax and prepare for the adventure ahead. Depending on your arrival time, you’ll likely enjoy the steady winds and warm waters this spot has to offer.

In addition to feasting on fresh fish for dinner, in this remote village you will find butter flat water, guaranteed strong wind and a beautiful view of the stars at night. Cabo is located along the coast in the middle of the desert where a very simplistic and happy community of indigenous people live. It is quite typical for people to sleep in Chinchorros (huge hammocks) but we do provide a conventional bed so you can fully rest!

After the already remote Cabo de la Vela, we will be guided three more hours north to reach Punta Gallinas, the most northern point of South America. It’s a magical place and downwinding from the lagoon in-between mangroves until you reach the sea will make you understand why it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world to visit. WiFi access is slim, but this place offers the most amazing sky views at night. In this place, you will also visit some pristine dunes where clean waves and steady wind are waiting for you.

Small touristic beach village with great restaurants. The beach in Palomino is a long stretch of white sand, fringed by palm trees facing an endless azure sea. A great place to relax and enjoy a day in the jungle finishing with a long and beautiful river float.

A lot of our first-time guests are concerned about this!

To give you an idea, about 80% of our guests are between 25 and 55 years old, with the most significant concentration being in their 30’s and 40’s. This is, on average, each trip is a bit different.

We are firm believers that age is just a number! If you are under 25 or over 55, you are certainly welcome in our retreats. What is important to our organization is to be transparent in the type of experience we deliver. Our guests come to focus on their surfing progression and to have a great time. Some of them enjoy a beer or a cocktail at sunset, but if you are looking for a place to party all week, this is not the right experience for you.

In each of our destinations, you will be led by experienced guides with in-depth knowledge of the area and the spot. 🌍 We also carefully choose secure accommodations to ensure the safety of our travelers.

That being said, we encourage our travelers to embrace the freedom of exploring and experimenting with each destination as they wish, as we believe in the beauty of traveling. ✈️ 💫 We provide necessary security advice for each trip, and when followed, the risks of any trouble, such as robbery or accidents, are very low.  Your safety is our top priority!

About half of our travelers are “lone travelers”, so you will most probably not be the only lone traveler in your group. 🌐👫 Whether you are traveling with other groups of friends, couples, or fellow lone travelers, you can expect to meet new friends with whom you will have a great time! 🤝✨ Embrace the opportunity to connect and share incredible experiences with like-minded adventurers. 🌍🏞️
