The Urcia family surf school is based in their home town, the UNESCO World Surfing Reserve of Huanchaco, Peru. Surfing originated in Huanchaco with traditional reed boats, Caballitos de Totora. On days off from surfing you can take a caballito tour and even fish and prepare your own ceviche. Learn more about caballitos with us.
