Can’t wait to return!
Going to El Salvador for no other reason than to stay at Casa Kickapoo with Luis and Gloria is a worthwhile idea. I simply can’t say enough good things about them as hosts, and as human beings in general. They are just the best kind of people. I’ve been on vacations where I’ve said, “Wow, they thought of everything”… and then I went to Casa Kickapoo. Talk about raising the bar.

Amazing!
In my head I had so many ideas of what it would be like and was worried that I’d got so excited that maybe it wouldn’t live up to what I hoped it would be. It didn’t, it exceeded them in every way! From the moment I got to Casa Kickapoo I was made to feel completely welcome, Luis and Gloria are the perfect hosts, always smiling, kind and cannot do enough for you.

Beyond expectations!
Luis and Gloria have done an amazing job to create a magical vacation destination. I had high expectations going into this vacation and somehow they were surpassed in so many ways. Great attention to detail. Always helpful and friendly. The house is amazing. The beach is like something out of a novel. Amazing surf, warm water and not another person in sight. I can’t wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

One of the main competitors in both Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, José Mário Sperry, also known as Zé Mário or Zé Maquina, was a big figure of the Pride Fc organization in Japan.

In the earlier 2000’s, he founded one of the most powerful MMA teams in the world – Brazilian Top Team (BTT). Mario was also the head coach for Team Nogueira and the Blackzilians.

Rodrigo also holds a black belt in Judo and Sambo under legendaries Gokor Chivychian and Gene Le Bell.

Surfing

Costa del Sol is one of the longest, widest and most beautiful beaches in the country. It’s also considered one of the best surfing beach breaks in El Salvador. We grew up surfing and fishing in these waters and know them very well.

The surf works best in the summer months, between November and April (dry season), usually on an incoming or outgoing high tide. The swell drops significantly during this time, but the offshore winds kick in and more than make up for the smaller size surf with endless days of perfect barrels.

Tired of the crowds back home? We guarantee you and your group will be the only ones out on the lineup at any given time. The conditions during this time of the year are usually beginner friendly, although intermediate to advanced surfers will also appreciate it when it gets big and punchy.
