Chicama Los Burritos Hostal y Cafe 2.46

THE SPACE
We have an awesome hostal on the point, in front of the third section. CHICAMA POINT is so long that we cannot see the beginning of the wave from our hostal. However the 3rd section is the fastest, hollowest and most challenging section to reach. It’s a great place to be and to capture on videos and photos. We also have the café/restaurant as well which offers a simple menu of burritos, tacos, burgers, muffins and more. The building has 3 floors. The restaurant and the owners residence(me) on 1st floor. The majority of the rooms are on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor has one room and the 2 large terraces. There is a fourth floor terrace. These are great and secure for photos/videos if you have expensive camera equipment.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests can relax on the third and fourth floor terraces. We have a washing machine for guests to use along with an outdoor shower on the first floor. Clothes line for drying. ON THE FIRST FLOOR THERE IS ALSO AN EXTRA BATHROOM. Since there is a shared bathroom for 5 rooms we provide this second bathroom as well for when the rooms fill up even though we are rarely ever full. It is on the first floor which is a bit inconvenient. The bathrooms are spacious and simple with a shower , toilet, and sink. We have kitchen access for all guests in some form. The studio has a private kitchen and the others have a shared kitchen. We are working on wifi/internet, but its taking some time, it will eventually be available. The building has video surveillance cameras in many common areas for security purposes. These are absolutely necessary.


INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
We interact very little with our guests. i and my 2 sons are usually plenty busy keepin things in order there is little time for socializing. There is not alot of service available and I may be a bit slow, so the more advance notice we have for any request the more we can satisfy our clients needs in a timely manner. There are no phones in the hostal. i am working alone. My intentions are not to bother the guests but to make sure their needs are met. i hope the prices will reflect a fair balance in this topic. whatever your needs or desires are please ask and we will do whatever we can to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. Boat rental contacts are available as is anything you can desire. Surfboard and wetsuit rentals are available within the hostal but minimal. Surfboard rental contacts can be provided , just ask. Sheets will be washed once a week unless needed sooner. One towel per guest upon check in, a clean towel is available at the ‘front desk’ once a day if desired in exchange for the original towel. If you need more than one towel at a time then a deposit of 5 US dollars is required for each additional towel.




OVERVIEW
The locals are friendly laid back people and most of them surf. More and more kids are learning every year. Peru can be a very dangerous place, i can guarantee you need to watch your stuff and watch your back. Chicama has 2 main surf breaks, The point and The Cape. The point is the famous , longest wave in the world. The cape is just a 100 meters further and it is also an incredible left point a little shorter of a ride. Much further out is a place called, La Punta. This is a left point as well but rarely surfed. After that theres miles and miles of desolate beach breaks. There is plenty of local farms so fresh vegetables and fresh fruit are cheap and easy to find.


GETTING AROUND
Everyone uses the buses to get anywhere. there is an abundance of taxis if you want a bit more privacy and control of your outings.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Whatever your needs or desires are please ask and we will do whatever we can to make sure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. Boat rental contacts are available as is anything you can desire. Surfboard and wetsuit rentals are available within the hostal but minimal. Surfboard rental contacts can be provided , just ask.


HOUSE RULEs revised feb 13
House rules? BNB asks us if we have any comments on house rules. so here goes.
Kids are welcome, so let's all respect family values and keep things decent. Any children and/or their accompanying adult will need to be responsible for the actions of the children. Young children must be attended by an adult at all times. This is important. There are many unsafe things in Peru like, electrical, animals, insects, broken glass on the beach , fast uncaring drivers, etc, etc, .
1. No drugs, no late and loud partying, no fighting, no drunken brawls. Just all the basic common sense respect for others please. Obviously if you want to party you are welcome to, its just not the environment we are advertising. We cannot allow excessive visitors. Chicama is infamous for loss of valuables by stealing. Please keep this in mind.
2. There is no smoking permitted in the rooms.
smoking on the terraces or open air spaces only please. the nearest fire dept is a million miles away. its hot and very dry so no smoking is best.
