  Descrição

  Hola,
  my name is Cesar, and I’ve been surfing for over 20 years. I’m a passionate longboarder and surf coach, and for many years it has been my dream to create a surf house in a world-class surf destination.
  
  With the help of travelers over the years, that dream became a reality in Huanchaco, a small fishing town in the north of Peru known for its consistent waves, rich culture, and relaxed lifestyle.
  
  What we’ve created is not a traditional business, but a small, community-based surf house built through shared experiences, respect, and a love for the ocean. The atmosphere is calm, social, and centered around surfing, simple living, and good energy.
  
  Everything is shared and done together. Volunteers help as an extra hand to maintain the space and keep the house running smoothly.
  
  The help is light and flexible (maximum 8 hours per week), leaving you with plenty of free time to surf, explore, and enjoy life by the sea.
  
  This experience is best suited for independent, responsible, and easygoing people who are comfortable with a simple lifestyle, enjoy surfing, and appreciate being part of a respectful and positive environment.

  🛠️ Help
  
  Help at the surf house is light and flexible, around 8 hours per week, and mainly involves simple shared tasks.
  
  These include general cleaning, keeping common areas organized, and occasionally helping with small projects around the house.
  
  This is not a structured job, but a shared living environment where everyone contributes a little. We appreciate people who are proactive, respectful, and happy to help without needing constant direction.
  
  The lifestyle here is calm and centered around surfing, the ocean, and enjoying a slower pace of life.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  This is a small, community-based town and project, which offers travellers the opportunity to experience local life in a very authentic way, while enjoying some of the best surfing in the world.
  
  Volunteers can improve their surfing at a quiet surf break just a 10-minute walk from the house, and we also organize surf trips to Chicama, home to the longest left-hand wave in the world (at local cost).
  
  There is a Spanish school next door for those who wish to take formal lessons, and plenty of opportunities to practice Spanish naturally by speaking with us and the local community.
  
  We also enjoy salsa dancing, sharing music, and eating traditional Peruvian cuisine at local prices, giving volunteers a true cultural exchange beyond just the work.

  Ajuda

  Hello everyone,
  
  Are you travelling to South America or Peru? Do you love surfing, salsa, or both? Are you practical and hands-on?
  
  Huanchaco beach is a small fishing town in Trujillo City with consistent waves all year round and located only one hour away from Chicama Beach “the longest lefthand wave in the world.”
  
  The main reason I’m welcoming volunteers is to help me complete my Surf House dream. Four years ago, with the help of volunteers, we renovated a house that became a homestay for surfers. There are still some improvements to be made, and I’d love to continue this project with the support of new volunteers.
  
  In exchange for free accommodation, I’m looking for help around the house. Tasks may include:
  - Small renovations and improvements
  - Painting
  - Improving the outdoor areas and garden around the house (and even the street)
  - Cooking simple homemade meals for the volunteers
  - Keeping shared areas clean and tidy
  
  The maximum work requirement is 8 hours per week in exchange for accommodation.
  
  In addition, we also have several small businesses where volunteers may help, depending on their interests. There may be other opportunities available. These options can be discussed once you arrive, so we can adapt the volunteering experience to what you enjoy most.
  
  I look forward to welcoming motivated, positive people who want to enjoy surf, culture, and local life in Huanchaco.

  Acomodação

  This is a fair and relaxed exchange, with plenty of free time to surf and enjoy the ocean lifestyle.
  
  This exchange is ideal for people who enjoy surf, community living, and a relaxed lifestyle by the ocean.

  Algo mais...

  In their free time, helpers can enjoy a wide range of activities and truly experience local Peruvian life.
  
  Alongside daily surfing at a quiet beach just minutes from the house and salsa dancing, there are important archaeological sites nearby, including the ancient Chan Chan ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest adobe city in the world. The region is part of the famous Ruta Moche, rich in history and culture.
  
  Huanchaco is a relaxed and friendly coastal town with cafés, small bars, local markets, and a social surf scene. Evenings can include salsa, shared meals, sunsets at the beach, or a night out in nearby Trujillo.
  
  For nature and adventure lovers, Huanchaco is well located for travel. Trujillo Airport is only 10 minutes away, making arrival and onward travel easy. From here, helpers can visit Huaraz for trekking and mountain adventures in the Cordillera Blanca, or travel south to Lima by bus or short flight.
