Imagine waking up right in front of the ocean, with one of Peru’s most legendary surf spots at your doorstep — Cerro Azul, even mentioned in the Beach Boys’ song Surfin’ Safari 🌊🎶. We’re a family looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us finish building our sustainable beach house, take care of our garden, and keep the space cozy and organized.

I would highly reccomend this volunteer opportunity to other world packers. I appreciated the patience I was given while learning new tasks, and walked away with new skills. I felt like part of the family and made great friends with the other volunteers as well. In addition, I was able to surf every day and enjoyed relaxing around the fire at night. There is also plenty to do on the weekends. The camping area and kitchen / bathroom faculties are nice as well as the plentiful ingredients provided for breakfast. I look forward to returning to the home Azul one day.

A month at Casa Clara in the home Azul was one of the bests part of my Peru trip. Oscar, Chani, Mariasol, and Gustavo are incredibly kind and generous -they made me feel like family, not just a volunteer. It's important that volunteers are aware: it's real construction and gardening work most days, not a chill beach gig. Additionally, the home Azul is a very small town. But if you want solid Spanish practice, real connection with locals, and good surf right after work, this is the spot. It's an immersive, hyperlocal experience where you get to be surrounded by beautiful waves and amazing people.

I stayed at Casa Clara for just under two weeks, helping with building tasks on the property. The volunteer facilities have everything you need and our lovely hosts were happy to go above and beyond to make our stay comfortable! The experience was great for improving my Spanish language skills, and it was a great balance of social dinners and lunches with the host and other volunteers, as well as lots of free time to relax and surf at the local beach! It was hard to leave and I'm excited to see Casa Clara grow into an amazing off-grid property! Thank you Oscar, Chani and Mariasol :)

Casa Clara was an amazing place to stay and work. Oscar, Chani and Mariasol were all so welcoming. The work was good and expectations were really clear. Oscar and Chani only spoke a little bit of English but it gave me a great chance to practice my Spanish! the home Azul is also a great town to explore, the surfing is great for beginners, the pier has fishing and the sea life and sea birds are incredible. I hope to make it back one day!

Oscar and Marisol were my introduction to the World Packers experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better start. The work is truly character-building—you'll learn things you never expected and become part of something bigger than yourself. They treated me with nothing but kindness and respect from day one, which made the entire experience even more meaningful. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone considering it. Go in with an open mind and an open heart, and everything will fall into place
