Description
Embark on an incredible journey and immerse yourself in the art of surfing on this day trip to El Paredón Beach, renowned for its vibrant surf culture in Guatemala!
Tour Overview
Beginning with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Antigua, we will leave behind the colonial charm of the city and head towards the picturesque Pacific Coast. Prepare to explore one of the most beautiful beaches in Guatemala!
After around 2 hours of travel, we will reach the charming town of El Paredón, located in Buena Vista. Our first stop will be at a beachfront hotel, where you can utilize the excellent facilities throughout the day.
Once you've settled in, we’ll gather our surfboards and meet your instructor, who will kick off our surfing lesson with an informative theory session about the unique waves of El Paredón. You will learn the essential skills needed to catch waves, maintain your balance, and safely navigate falls in the water. Expect an engaging and comprehensive learning experience!
Next, it's time to take to the water and apply your new skills! Did you know that the Pacific Coast around El Paredón is regarded as one of the premier locations for learning to surf?
After completing your surf lesson, we will reconvene at the hotel restaurant for a well-deserved delicious breakfast. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy, with access to hotel facilities allowing you to relax or continue honing your surfing skills.
