If besides surfing you are up for another challenge, we also offer Spanish lessons as an option for all our surf camp packages. It’s not uncommon for the friendly locals of Huanchaco to start a conversation or give you surf tips while waiting for the next set of waves. Thus you can directly put your new Spanish skills to practice. What better and more relaxed way of learning Spanish than doing so while surfing?

Local native-language teachers

For the Spanish lessons we work together with Manuel and Bruno, local spanish teachers with a lot of experience. Individual 1-hour lessons or in small groups he will help build your confidence speaking and understanding Spanish, so that in no-time you will be able to chat with the locals, be it in the line-up or at the bar. The first Spanish lesson your current level will be assessed and based on that the focus for the rest of the course will be determined. At the end of every class you will receive some homework to continue learning in between classes at your own pace. 

Practice Spanish in Real-Life Situations

One of the best ways to learn a language is through real-life interactions. Huanchaco’s small-town charm means that you’ll have ample opportunities to practice your Spanish skills outside the classroom. Whether you’re ordering street food, bargaining at the local market, or chatting with fishermen by the pier, you’ll find friendly locals eager to help you practice and improve your language skills.

Experience the Beauty of Huanchaco

Beyond the classroom, Huanchaco’s natural beauty is a constant source of inspiration. Surrounded by pristine beaches and with its famous reed boats known as “caballitos de totora,” this town offers the perfect backdrop for your language learning journey. The relaxed pace of life here allows you to balance your studies with leisurely strolls along the beach or peaceful moments watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean.

Caballito tour

For thousands of years local fishermen have been using Caballitos de Totora (reed surfboard-like boats) to navigate the ocean and surf the waves. It’s how surfing in Peru started! During our Caballito tour, Santos Urcia – father of Juninho – will show you how a caballito is made and will explain about this tradition that is still very much alive today. Of course you will have plenty of opportunity to try riding one yourself and catch some fish! Afterwards we will have a traditional Peruvian Ceviche lunch where we will prepare the catch of the day together. The tour takes about half a day in total.
