A Surf and Foil Temple
Chicama or Malabrigo Port is a natural and historical jewel hidden between the ocean and costal desert of La Libertad Region in the central coast of Perú. We are located 85km North of Trujillo, 1:30hrs by car to Chicama. This magical place is home to the longest surfeable left wave in the world, pictured in front of an spectacular sandy beach. The wave ends after a 2km ride by the old sugar cane port, built almost 100 years ago. Today Chicama is home to fisherman, refuge of perfect waves, nature and relax for its visitors, an unbeatable base to visit the historical surroundings and other perfect waves due to its location.

Social Responsability
From the beginning of our project, one of our goals has been to create development for Chicama. In doing so, we strive to hire only locals and try, for the most part, to have providers of goods and services in the area, in order to develop decent and sustainable sources of work. Another responsibility we assume is to take care of the environment and protect the Chicama wave from any threats that may exist. Below are some of the social responsibility activities we carry out:
Federación de Tabla del Perú
Conservemos por Naturaleza
A few years ago our wave was threatened with the potential construction of a 2km long pier, which sought to convert Chicama into an export port for agricultural and mining production. That's why we asked for help from the Surf Federation of Peru, who put us in contact with the NGO Conservemos por Naturaleza and its subsidiary Hazla por tu Ola. They were in charge of making the registering Chicama in RENARO, as a a wave protected by the Law of Rompientes of Peru (Peru's Wave Protection Law). Chicama Boutique Hotel financed all the required studies and actively participated in meetings with the authorities. This is how Chicama became the first wave protected by law in the world. Special thanks to Carolina Butrich and Bruno Monteferri of Hazla for your Ola, to the FENTA and to the Navy of Peru for this great achivement!
Share the Stock Fundation
Youth Weekend: Six years ago the Chicama Boutique Hotel partnered with Share the Stoke Foundation of the USA to help the community of Chicama become more committed to surfing and caring for the environment.

The Youth Weekend is a weekend full of activities for local children, among the activities we do are:
• Free Surf Lessons.

Environmental care talks Grill for the participants With this we have managed to engage the community with the care of the environment encourage local children to become the ambassadors of surfing in this unique area. So far we have collected almost 6 tons of plastics from the beach.

The sale of metal tumblers giving access to the client having free water during their entire stay. The sale of drinks in glass containers. We have eliminated the use of plastic straws in our bar and restaurant. To make our purchases we use reusable bags.
Free Coffee for plastic beach litter: As of 2018 we have been offering the visitors of Chicama the opportunity to collect plastic trash from the beach and in return for a free coffee in our restaurant. This activity is designed to educate our visitors that their help is crucial in keeping our beaches clean.
