Tem serviço de alimentação com alguns pratos disponíveis. Também tem à disposição bebidas para compra.
Possui máquina de lavar roupa, piscina e outros serviços que são contados a parte e com preço super justo. O melhor lugar que ficamos em toda viagem! Eles tem dois cachorros muito amáveis!
Super recomendamos!

We stayed for 10 days at this incredible campsite on the beach. The beach is practically deserted. The campsite with a lot of structure is extremely clean. The hosts are always willing to help and very friendly. There is food service with some dishes available. Drinks are also available for purchase.
It has a washing machine, swimming pool and other services that are included separately and at a super fair price. The best place we stayed on our entire trip! They have two very friendly dogs!
We highly recommend it!

Incredible camping, facing the sea. From here we were able to see some whales in the sea, as it is high season. We paid 45 soles per day for two people and a car with a roof tent. The use of the kitchen and swimming pool is charged separately. Great Wi-Fi.

Camping incrível, de frente para o mar. Daqui pudemos ver algumas baleias no mar, pois estamos em alta temporada. Pagamos 45 soles por dia para duas pessoas e um carro com barraca de teto. A utilização da cozinha e da piscina são cobradas à parte. Ótimo Wi-Fi.

Report Check-In

it's a really nice place to stay. Clean and great access to the beach. Perfect if you are alone. Unfortunately also 35 S for <3ton vans (and 10S for one additional person) and no discount if you stay longer. The explanation was because of water shortage, but then I ask myself: having a swimming pool is the right solution?! a bit smelly sometimes from the gray or black water system.

Sem dúvidas o melhor lugar que já ficamos em nossa viagem pela America do Sul, super recomendo, um verdadeiro paraíso na costa do Peru. Pagamos 45 soles para a Kombi e 2 pessoas, pet friendly, banheiro limpo, chuveiro quente e água com boa pressão. Máquina de lavar grande (S/12 adicional), espaço coberto para estender roupa, família muito amável. Aceitam pagamento com cartão de crédito.

As described, small but absolut great place! Everything clean. Small self-service store with drinks and some little food. We could do the laundry (in a huge machine) for 12soles. Electricity 220V, Wifi average to fast at site (in car), good to do some business as well. The hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Situated directly on the beach a nice SMALL campground. When we were there 5 other campers were there, definitely a bit crowded. Infrastructure is for peruan standards very good. Internet is very slow and access is restricted to five places. We ordered dinner at 5 pm, it was promised for 6:15, the money was collected at 6, finally it arrived at 7 and was cold, not recommended.
We stayed 5 nights because of roadblocks in Peru, still a nice place.

Report Check-In

we spent 5 nights there with a 24 feet. the campsite is relatively small and cannot accommodate many vehicles. Luckily we were the only ones and really enjoyed the place and the staff. Peru is the first country when you come from the North with 220v electricity. we paid 45 Soles per day for an Rv and 2 people.

We got a very warm welcome back from Melba and Jacques.( stayed here 3 years ago).
Our stay was very relaxing! Everything was in good order. Hot shower! Clean facilities! Lounge chairs, hammocks. Big laundry machine.
Regarding the comment made by “Wolf” they use grey water for the plants NOT black water. They do it to conserve water which is a precious commodity in this area
Highly recommended!!!

We returned to Swiss Wassi after a 7-month leave from Peru. Jacques and Melba continue to be excellent hosts. The nearest shopping is at Zorritos, about 20 minutes away - .you can catch a collectivo across the road from the campground. The market is so-so. Much better shopping is at Tumbes but that is an hour away. The parking at Swiss Wassi is tight and might not be suitable for a very large rig. The shower (hot) and toilet facilities are good but there is only one to be shared. Laundry service is also available. Wifi is good. Your vehicle will be affected by the salt air if you stay more than a few days.

Report Check-In

The owner of the place is not too friendly, she's Peruvian and there is a strange felling with her about of the services she offer. The parking area for the camper or camping is too small, no more than 2 small 4wd. You can get the felling of be is a nice small prison. Do not recommend the place. There is also a new building that probably have been the old parking area for camping for campers in the past. I already moved to other better place to the north at zorritos.

Report Check-In

Nice and relaxing atmosphere, friendly people. Didn’t want to pitch the tent in the sand and share the bathroom with lots of other overlanders so opted for one of the 2 bungalows. The bungalow is beachfront, spacious and with 2 big beds and private bathroom equipped. Shower is hot. Wifi is very good. Big table on the terasse, lounge chairs and hammocks. Much space and wardrobe to organize all our stuff and clothes. Big yard with lot’s of palm trees which provide shadow and fresh coconuts 🥥. The downside is the room rate, 120 sol without breakfast, 150 incl. continental breakfast for 2. That’s definitely too much. We stayed 2 nights and there was no cleaning service in between. The terasse door was broken and not lockable. Several times a day the palm trees were flooded with “agua negra” which smelled horrible all over the place. The coconuts though were free to pick and tasted very sweet 😂😂

Great campsite, nice owners, we waited here for the civil unrest and the road blocks to finish in Ecuador, clean showers and toilets, hot water. This place will fit at least 3 big rigs and a few small cars but agreed it is not a huge campground.

Great camp site with all the amenities one needs including washing machine. Friendly people, enjoyed the clean beach in front of the camp.
I love to take long walks along the beach which you can do there but you will encounter lots of garbage as soon as you are away from the property. If you want clean beaches, beautiful long walks and whales, head south to Los Organos. You will not have the amenities there so no place is perfect.

Great place, clean and has everything you need. Plus you’re directly on the beach where you can even spot whales if you’re lucky :) would definitely recommend it to everyone passing by!

We had problems at the border to Ecuador with our poder and got stuck here for 4 weeks.
The place is really beautiful to relax on the beach for few days.
Pros:
- 2 hammocks and palm trees, to mount your own
- beautiful sandy beach with an outdoor shower
- 4-5 sunbeds and benches to sit outside
- free Power sockets (parallel)
- sometimes fast and then slow WIFI
- really lovely neighbor dog called Sachi
- cheap beers, icecream
- basic groceries like 20L&7L water, milk, flour etc.
- we were able to use the vacuum cleaner - to clean our filthy van
- because we stayed almost a month we got a discount

Cons:
- only one shower and toilet (cleaned the bathroom every 3-4 days, you can image it get dirty with sand after one day)
- didn't empty the toilet basket - even if it was full
- the dogs shat in- and outside
- the previous points were done AFTER you talked to them.
- the real owners were not here
- they where not really friendly and motivated (we had the feeling we bothered them if we needed something - especially the 2 mujeres)
- after you rang the bell (for groceries) 3 times they reacted or not.
- real hassle to wash the laundry, because of water shortage

Obviously, our expectations were too high (it's small, crowded, had no water for the washing maschine, unfriendly staff). We moved on to a more pleasant place.

It is a very good place to stay. Third time We come here. Perfect before leaving Peru or after coming from Ecu

Report Check-In

The place is very small, good for 3, macimum 4 campers. There is only one bathroom for all people with shower inside the same room, so sometimes, if there are many people you have to wait very long. The washing mashine was out of order for all 4 days we have been there, because of whatever....they used it, but we were not allowed to???
3 times a day they but the overflow of the toilet wich smelled horrible to the palm trees, that are directly between the campers and cars that camp there...normally at breakfast time, at noon and at dinner time.
The shop was not very well stocked, when we have been there.
35 soles for 2 plus car.

Wonderfull place like others comments. We Would like stayed much more time. But it wasn’t possible because they don’t have water enouth to permit wash our clothes and than we went out unfortunantly. Price to us 45,00 Soles/day, for two people and our Truck.

Incredible place to stay. We loved it so much we stayed a whole week. Why?
- the sunsets, and the parking spot under the palm trees 🌴
- the hospitality of Melba and Jacques
- the little store they have (including ice creams and beers)
- the fast Internet
- the surf lessons Jacques recommended us
- the washing machine (one load S./ 6)
- the “menu del día” or breakfast ; freshly prepared food every day (S./ 15) if you are lazy to cook 😉.
- the clean toilets & hot showers
- much more!!

Some people found it a bit expensive, went to the other place on iOverlander, and came back because Swiss Wassi was so much better.

Very recommendable !!

Loved this spot. As others have said, this is an overlanding oasis. The owners are super nice and will help you with your whatever you need. Right on the beach with an amazing view. Dogs that will steal your heart. Onsite store for essentials, fruit and veg guy comes by every other day, and fresh fresh fish from the nearby pier for ceviche and Thanksgiving dinner. Hot showers, plugins for your vehicle, and fast WiFi. We met tons of other travelers and stayed way longer than we planned. But I think everyone does once they stay here for awhile. :)

Nice place but very expansive for what they offers. And it's very small. we prefer Grillo 3 puntas for cheaper and with a swimming pool.

L'endroit est sympa mais beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est. De plus c'est très petit et l'espace commun est bof, leur garage à voiture. On a largement préféré Grillo 3 puntas pour moins cher et avec restaurant et piscine.

Arrived to get lovely spot near palm trees and as the campground filled, made many friends and watched World Cup in a lovely setting. Nervous to take 5 year old in the water because of the rocks, but we were allowed to use the pool at the hotel next door for a fee. Good hot shower, and great Washing machine! Bit pricey, but nice stop.

We managed to get a spot after hearing about how crowded it can get here; there were 8 rigs! S40 per night for two with camper. lovely breezes on their beach. By the third night, only 3 rigs, then two....Not much shade here in parking area but palm trees in beach area and wifi reaches there. Jacques and Melba are very kind and do their best to help. Beach has some rocky sections but it's long and nice to walk. Lots of clothes to use and washing machine only S6 per load.

Great Place, beautiful beach location, friendly welcome, very organized. So popular with overlanders, it was almost crowded (7 rigs), but made it very nice to socialize.
Wifi fast when nobody else was using it (saw 5Mb/s for a sec.) but overall so slow I did not manage to post a Facebook update. Sometimes a wait on the one bathroom/shower.
You might also want to check out the Grillos_3_Puntas Hostel just North with their huge property and more wild/hippy style atmosphere.

Great place to stay, we were travelling two up on our motorbike and stayed here for 5 days. We camped right on the beach, under the coconut trees and everything about this place was good and well run. First up the area is extremely clean and the beach perfect. There are tables, lounges and covered areas outside and inside (the lower part of the house) there is toilet, shower and washing facilities. There was a great mix of travelers there during our stay and a great friendly atmosphere. You are able to buy a whole range of items, but most importantly the Cervesa is 5.5s :). The hosts can also cook for you and a group of us ate Langosta Lobster/ Crayfish one night for 40s which was great. There is plenty of room for large rigs and it would have to be one of the best places we have stayed during our travel's. There is accommodation available with two self contained units which face the beach and are US 27 per night per person, this is a much better alternative than staying in a hotel in the nearby town.

This place is really nice- the north coast of Peru felt rough. We're so glad we stopped here for a couple nights before continuing south. It's a little on the expensive end of camping for us but well worth it! Really wonderful owners and the other overlanders there were so welcoming and nice. 25 sole for car and one person, 10 soles for each extra person. Includes access to electricity. The food, drinks and snacks they sell are basically the same price as anywhere else so just drink their cold beer;) so nice to have access to a washer to do laundry at such a good price (6 soles). there is a banco nacional for atm in zorritos and a small local Mercado for the basics. Swiss Wassi will take your dollars- as will many places en route we found. For sure though this place is paradise compared to the entire north coast....

Rates have gone up and while the place is nice, they charge adult prices for anyone age 3 and above ($25 sol for car + driver, and then $10 sol for each additional person) which makes it expensive for families. Also, wifi is decent close to the house but does not work farther afield. After the first night they kindly offered that we could move closer but we were already parked (and unpacked) so decided to stay put. They let us sit on the porch of the rental house as it was unoccupied and we were able to get a decent signal.

The beach was nice, the shower was blissfully hot, and it was a fine place to crash for a couple days after crossing the border.

Très très bien! Merci a Jacques et Melba pour leur accueil, leur gentillesse, leur cuisine et leur plage camping
En plus, Jacques et Melba vous proposent un vrai service qui va du taxi à la restauration sans oublier toutes les aides et assistances possibles, tous les tarifs des services sont très corrects et surtout très fiables.

Le service "gardiennage" que vous propose Jacques et Melba du Swiss Wassi est lui exceptionnel car en plus du gardiennage, on vous propose de vous seconder et de vous aider pour faire toutes les démarches administratives auprès des douanes, polices, péruviennes.

RAPPEL : si vous devez sortir du Perou sans votre véhicule il est obligatoire de le déclarer aux services douaniers et vous devez laisser votre véhicule sous douane soit dans un parking des douanes, soit dans un parking assermenté comme l'est le camping Swiss Wassi. Si vous n'avez pas accompli ces démarches auprès des douanes péruviennes et de la police, vous pouvez être bloqués à la frontière au moment de votre sortie du Perou comme par exemple dans un aeroport international péruvien (Lima etc...) et l'extension de la durée du séjour jusqu'à 1 an de votre véhicule est possible au Perou,(la durée normale est de 90 jours)

POUR LA REGULARISATION DE VOTRE DOSSIER GARDIENNAGE DE VOTRE VEHICULE AVEC OU NON L'EXTENSION DE LA DUREE DU SEJOUR DE VOTRE VEHICULE AU PEROU : Toutes les démarches administratives, les assistances auprès des autorités policières et douanières sont proposées et réalisées par Jacques et Melba. Tarifs a la carte. (Prix très raisonnable)

POUR LE GARDIENNAGE A ZORRITOS, Jacques et Melba peuvent héberger votre véhicule au tarif de 50 $ US par mois pour une voiture, 80 $ US pour un grand véhicule ( camion etc) parking gardé, sécurisé en extérieur.
Notre camion va rester plusieurs mois au Swiss Wassi et avec l'aide et le service de Jacques, les démarches administratives ont été réalisées en 3 jours! Et nous avons pu sortir du pays (aeroport de Lima) sans aucun problème avec les douanes.

Donc tant pour le service que pour le camping sur la plage (merveilleux) ou le gardiennage de votre véhicule, tant pour les tarifs proposés (camping tout confort pour 20 soles par jour pour un CC avec 2 personnes) ou un petit bungalow sur la plage tout confort ( 100 soles par nuit, 150 soles avec le petit déjeuné) gardiennage 50 $ US ou 80 $ US par mois. Tant pour la gentillesse, l'accueil et le professionnalisme de Jacques et Melba, je vous RECOMMANDE le SWISS WASSI.

Best campsite of the trip so far! Melba and Jacques are lovely host, from the moment you set camp you feel like home and everything is set up to make your life there easy and enjoyable. We were supposed to stay on night and ended up staying 5! Very reasonably priced as well. Treat yourself with langosta for dinner and cuddle Golosso (the dog) on our behalf. Ok for all types of rigs no heights or width limit. Wether you go North or South don't miss this place!!!

We dropped in for a couple of days on the way to Ecuador. Had to leave Peru cause our visa was over. 2 days in Ecuador and we returned for almost 3 weeks. It's a great place to relax and recuperate. We feel like we had a holiday and now we're ready for Ecuador. Melba's bread, yoghurt, Ceviche & Pisco sours are to be recommended. And access to the icecream freezer was sometimes just too tempting. Internet was better than most here suggested. It does come through the mobile network, but we got quite​ a bit of work done online.

Swiss wassi is the place that we have been recommended to over and over again by other travellers. And it didn't disappoint. It's a beautiful spot where you can easily stay longer then you planned. Absolute beachfront.

Facilities we liked that were not mentioned previously - there is a washing machine (6 sol per use), a big freezer (selling ice cream, can also be used to freeze your own stuff), a pantry full of things like cold beer, chocolates and staple foods you can buy, an indoor seating area, and lots of shaded spots.

Things we missed: a kitchen (there is a washing up area only).

We paid 25 sol per night for 2 people and electricity (220v). All prices were easy to find - written on your check-in form.

Basically this place is an overlanders dream. The owners clearly understand what overlanders want and need (unfortunately we didn't meet the owners due to illness).

This is a solid option! Big rigs CAN fit as they seem to have taken over the lot next door. The one bathroom and shower is very neat and clean and the wifi works OK (wasn't fast for us ). It's still 25 soles with electricity. Nice palapas for trents and hammocks. If you have a dog, then their dog Oso can be annoying because he will bother your dog (just kinda try to always hang around, and be dominant). It definitely was a bummer for us, as we couldn't play freely with our dogs without him coming around. Owners weren't here when we were, overall we liked Hospedaje Coco Playa more.

how to describe this wonderfull place, the best one in our 1 year trip in south america ???? I miss words !!!!! you can park in front of the beach which looks like private, with long chairs. You can back in the warm ocean, make kitesurf if the wind is strong enough and you can fish. Shower (hot) and toilets are very clean. Wifi is really fast, you can watch a movie in streaming on the beach !!!!!! What to say to the owners ???? incredible !!!!! Melba is so friendly, she makes feel you at home, she cooks so well, she can prepare you ceviche, meal of the day, or cocktails to drink in the sand in front of a marvelous sunset on the ocean. Jacques, her husband is so nice, always here to help you or to have fun with you. Goloso, their naked dog from Perú, is really funny. he just wants to play with you with coconuts found on the beach. We spent christmas with them, like a real family ! Highly recommended to enjoy north of Perù. We will come back for sure !!!!!

Beautiful place, we planned one night and stayed 3, we pitched our tent right on the beach under a small thatched roof to keep the sun off. The owners are very welcoming and helpful, i parked my motorbike in there garage there's plenty of space.. The kind lady even gave us some pillows so make our stay more comfortable :)

Endroit magnifique avec de superbes propriétaires. Le pain maison et le café sont délicieux tout comme les plats du jour. Le surf à Zorritos et Pena Redonda (10min) est parfait (moins de surfeur qu'à Mancora). A ne pas manquer!

Beautiful place with great owners. Homemade bread and coffee are delicious as are the daily specials. Surfing in Zorritos and Pena Redonda (10min) is perfect (less surfers than Mancora). Do not miss!

Beautiful location directly at the beach. Very clean bathroom but only one for everyone and it was constantly occupied when you needed it. The owners are nice and even improvised a dinner (10 soles) although we arrived really late. Electricity, wifi. 20 soles per car with up to two persons, 10 soles for each additional person. Perfect first spot after the border in Tumbes.

Well geez, without waxing too poetic about Swiss wassi, melba, jacque, dante, or guloso (their hairless Peruvian dog), we'll just say that we came to feel as family there and out of our travels in south America would make a special trip back to Peru just to see them again. all this, AND the beach paradise, cold beers, sea only feet away, campfires at night, watching humpbacks breach offshore, and catching and cooking fish we caught from the break right out front. A truly magical place, we loved this place and miss both jacque and melba.

Really nice campsite if not too many campers around as its a small place. Clean toilets n showers. Felt like our own private beach for few days and we totally chilled out. Hairless dog is just too sweet and if he gets you his ball to play with consider yourself lucky :) he is more friendly than owners who are nice drive you to town etc but like to stay at a distance. Wifi comes n goes ....mosquitos are bad around sunset during day palapas are super comfi...

We really enjoyed the time here, its very beatiful and quiet. The place is just a fifty meters from the sandy beach, the water warm and clear.
The owners are very welcoming and offered us to cook in their kitchen. Bathroom is very clean and comfy! You can use their laundry room to wash. The Internet is usually fast.
We highly recommend that place to stay instead going to Mancora (very touristic, noisy)

This is a little paradise just perfect when you're coming from or to Ecuador. Melba is so nice and friendly and she cooks really nice simple meals, home made bread AND lobster!!!
We enjoyed long conversations at this relaxed place. There's a long beach for walking just a few steps from the camping. Good internet, big and clean bathroom, drinkable water (at least for us chileans) and cold beers! Oh, and don't miss a pisco sour for sunset...
We loved this place, it was difficult to leave. Stayed 12 nights. Payed S/20 for the 2 of using power.

Great place, great friendly owners. We had a very relaxing week here, went to the market with Melba and Jacques, and even share langustas on our last day. You can watch movies on Jacques projector in the garage area.
The place is going to be even better as they are now building their house and planning on improving the camping area. Not a lot of space but it is all the interest: you are not in a camping park but hosted by friends!

we expected a little bit more from a "swiss place". the ground is a bit rough, and there is only space for 2 or 3 RV's. we paid 20 soles p/n. the shower is very hot,and there is a washing machine. the caretaker is very friendly , and speaks a bit english.

A great place to stop by and recharge by the beach. We did all our laundry in half a day and it dried within minutes! :) They let you use their washing machine for 5S a load. The owners are also experienced in storing vehicles and the permit suspension process. They are super nice and speak French or Spanish. They did the vehicle storage for two people in the past. $50 for a month. The daily rate for camping is 15 soles. Electricity is 5 more soles. The ocean is free.

One of our favorite campsites of the whole trip. Lovely couple of owners were so warm and welcoming. Only room for a couple of campers, and big rigs would be very challenging, but we pulled up to the edge of the sand and camped in the shade of palm trees. When it gets hot, you can walk a few meters down to the water for a swim in the basically private beach. Their Peruvian Hairless dog sealed the deal for us. Clean bathroom and shower. Only downside is no easy wifi option - the owners offered us a prepaid USB stick, so it could be an option for you. Count on a disconnected, totally chill evening. Nearby Acapulco and Zorritos weren't anything special that we could tell so we hung out on the beach. Checked out the 3 Grillos campsite as well - it was great beachfront property but didn't have any shade for our car and it was too hot to bake in the sun.
