El Paredón · Guatemala

A surf hostel, restaurant, and bar on the black-sand beach.

Founded by surfers, for the lineup

Cocorí is an oasis for nomad travelers, backpackers, and surfers in El Paredón. Hostel, surf camp, bar, and restaurant in one — a meeting point with good vibes between travelers and the local community.

Cocorí in El Paredón was founded by surfers for surfers, nomad travelers, and backpackers — an idea and a dream to leave city life for a surfer’s lifestyle at the beach, and to help put Guatemala’s surf scene on the map. The house sits on Primera Avenida in El Paredón Buena Vista. If you want the same campus with a quieter sleep, Caracola Boutique Hostel is a few steps away — and Caracola guests walk over for the pool, restaurant, bar, and beach path.
