I recommend this place for anyone looking for a beach lifestyle, a chill town and a slower pace. The work is very flexible and easy to manage! Jessica and Fabricio’s family welcomed us really well from day one. It was a great and experience overall :)

Although I would recommend being able to hold simple conversations in Spanish before coming to Pacasmayo, everyone really tried their best to communicate with me and make me feel welcome <3. The work was very manageable, and I enjoyed every day at the surf camp! Especially when connecting with other volunteers, I found many ways to explore Peru and its culture :) I definitely recommend it and already miss my time there <3

I had a great time volunteering at the surf camp! If you are a spontaneous person and like to live enjoying the day instead of planning everything ahead this is the perfect place! The work hours are reasonable and the hotel is a beautiful place to spend time. Pacasmayo is a beautiful town with a gorgeous beach and very nice people! I'm going to miss Fabricio, the whole family and especially the dogs Arena and Dedalo🫶🏼 I will definitely be back 🤙🏼❤️

Pacasmayo is an amazing place and experiencing it at the surf camp was super! The people are super nice and will be there for you if you need them! I really got to experience the culture because there are also a lot of peruvian guests and the local people in Pacasmayo are very welcoming The job was fun and i enjoyed filming the surfers a lot as well as learning how to surf in the afternoons.

My experience as a volunteer at the surf camp was excellent!
It was the best place and with the ideal people to be able to do my first volunteering.
From the beginning I felt at home, and while working at reception I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and, moreover, a wonderful and very close-knit team and family.
The tasks are simple, and for any doubt I had there was always someone I could ask.
Thanks to the other volunteers and to the guests I was able to improve my English; thanks to Fabricio and his family I learned part of the tradition and I got into surfing.
