There are different packages offered for different regions of Chile. You can choose between the North Chile Package, Central Chile Package and South Chile Package. You can book the trips for 7 or 10 days and with different accommodation and food options. You can also book a surf camp package for stays of 2 - 5 days.
NORTH CHILE PACKAGE:
The north of Chile is known for its vast and deserted valleys. Its coastline is surrounded by the Cordillera de la Costa, which falls straight into the Pacific Ocean creating a unique contrast between the sea and the mountains, and a rocky bottom that sets up perfect waves. Thanks to the deserts characteristic weather, inland animal life and vegetation are hard to find, while in the sea there is an abundance and diversity of marine life, great for diving and fishing.
This surf trip focuses on surfing isolated, secret places far away from civilization, where the closest town is usually a rural fisherman village, with surprisingly friendly people and fresh seafood. A real adventure through completely amazing routes, lost in the north of Chile, guided by expert local surfers, first class equipment, unique surroundings, perfect waves and empty lineups.
This surf trip explores the surroundings of Huasco in order to reach many different spots that have empty, first class waves. The desert climate allows this surf trip to be booked at any month of the year, being the most consistent period between May and August, the Chilean fall/winter.
Water temperature is a few degrees warmer than further south, but still a 4.3 mm wetsuit is needed and booties are highly recommended for the cold and the urchins. The waves in the zone of Huasco are not suggested for beginners since they are pretty fast and hollow.

CENTRAL CHILE PACKAGE:
The central zone is the coastline that covers the fifth and sixth regions of Chile. It is known for being a combination of farmlands and Chilean typical fishing villages. Many compare it with northern California for its natural beauty and the quality of the surf. Matanzas, Puertecillo and Pichilemu are the places where the classic waves are, being Pichilemu Chile’s “Surf Capital” for the consistency, quality and the size of its waves. All the waves mentioned are pointbreaks that create long and perfect left-handers. Welcome to goofyfoot paradise.
The growth of surf in Chile in the last few years, along with the international recognition of waves like Punta de Lobos, have turned Pichilemu into a popular destination for tourists that visit our country. This has allowed the opening of countless surf-lodges, hostals, restaraunts, surfschools and surfshops that have helped the local economy and give Pichilemu that special surf-town vibe. Puertecillo is a small fisherman village with very difficult access. A very beautiful, pristine beach, completely isolated and with first class waves. A place to lay back and surf. It can only be reached in a 4x4 vehicle. Matanzas is a small village best known by wind & kite surfers, where an epic wave breaks if the right conditions are given.
