Hey, good news. We're going back to Chicama, Peru this April. Of course, this is thanks to the

0:07.7

impeccable organization and planning of waterways travel.com. Dates are August 22nd through the 29th.

0:16.6

It is a seven-night's day. We rented the entire resort, and the trip will sell out.

0:21.8

We are staying again at the Chicama Boutique Hotel, which is the resort right there,

0:27.4

overlooking the wave.

0:28.3

It's the one closest to the wave on the edge of town.

0:31.6

Chikama is, of course, regarded as the longest left in the world.

0:36.1

The restaurant at the hotel is amazing. And for the price of the

0:39.7

trip, it's all inclusive. You get three meals a day, actually three courses per meal, if you can

0:46.4

stomach it, every day. It also includes boats for us, which pick us up on the beach in front of

0:52.5

the hotel. They shuttle us to the top of the point,

0:54.6

drop us off in the takeoff zone, and then even better. They pick you up after you kick out of the wave.

1:13.2

The trip is definitely halfway sold for sure. I haven't gotten an update in the last week or two,

but there are some spaces still available. We had an incredible trip last year, and I'm super

1:25.1

excited to go back. You can see pricing and additional
