About Puerto Viejo Surfcamp
Puerto Viejo Surfcamp is a surf and adventure operation on Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast, set just minutes from the renowned breaks of Cocles Beach. Founded by Daniel Brown, a local certified surf instructor and tour guide who grew up riding these waves, the camp blends hands-on coaching with a laid-back, all-inclusive jungle stay only a short walk from the sand.
The core offering is private surf coaching with certified instructors, with sessions running up to three hours and timed around the day's wave conditions to suit everyone from first-timers learning on the gentle Cocles beach break to advanced surfers chasing the legendary Salsa Brava reef. Weekly packages bundle daily lessons, surfboards, session photos and videos, regular yoga classes, and a slate of adventure tours covering waterfall hikes, jungle treks and local cultural experiences.
What sets the camp apart is the genuinely local ownership and the immersive, stay-and-surf format housed in modern container bungalows with kitchens and private terraces. Guests get insider knowledge of exactly where to paddle out on any given day, plus a flexible mix of surf, yoga and rainforest adventure that turns a holiday into a complete Caribbean experience.
