Itinerary
This is our starting point to walk towards the Huacachina lagoon and board the buggies to tackle this adventure. At this point, travelers buy tickets for the tourist tax of S/ 3.60 soles. From there a 2-hour adventure awaits us in the immense dunes of Huacachina and we will travel through them, like a roller coaster of emotions. We made stops for the Sanboarding boards and finally appreciated the Sunset in the largest desert in southern Peru.
If you book this experience, you'll ride a buggy through the impressive desert dunes, feeling the thrill of each high-speed climb and descent.

We had the best experience on this tour! They picked us up and dropped us off at our Airbnb, and we had SO much fun on the tour! Couldn’t recommend our driver, Jota, more!
Thank you very much for your comment, you help us continue to grow on the platform.
Good experience Was given the option of a slow, medium or fast buggy/group. I chose the fast group, we went up and down the dunes, fast, felt like a rollercoaster. We then travelled using the buggy to 4 different slopes where we could sandboard, belly down. Our driver Armando was very good. We then viewed the sunset with a fire, pisco and beer. Really enjoyed it, excellent scenery.

Do this trip! It was incredible. So, so, so much fun. A forever memory! Really friendly buggy drivers. Insane sunset.
Thank you so much for your trust, it was a pleasure meeting you.
This was such a perfect experience! Me and my friend went to Huacachina for one day and this tour was all we could’ve asked for. The guides were so fun and friendly!
Thank you so much for your trust, it was a pleasure meeting you.
From the moment you arrive, you feel right at home. They have free bandanas for your comfort in the buggy through the dunes, we did 3-4 dune slides, and the views both at sunset and during the driving moments are incredible. The guides know where to take you and how to keep the group's energy up. Highly recommended, 10/10 quality with a price for everyone. Thank you
Muchas gracias por su comentario, nos ayuda a crecer.
Jota is THE MAN!!!!!! We had so much fun during our buggy ride. He greeted us at the meet up point and off we went. We hiked up a challenging sandy hill - took us some time but we made it! Once inside the car, Jota let us know what to expect and off we went. We did mini jumps in the buggy and I went up to level three sand boarding (couldn’t imagine 4 & 5!) Once at the final stop, we were able to capture some beautiful photos of the pending sunset before other groups joined up. Then we popped open our beers (the hosts drank water) and toasted to another beautiful and incredible day on this earth. Jota gave us so much information on how this came to be a thing in Huacachina and his “why”. We learned so much (being a Spanish speaker is helpful) but he can communicate well enough in English to get points across and have an enjoyable time!
Thank you so much for your comments; they help us a lot to continue growing.
Of all the activities I did in Huacachina, this was one of my favorites. The buggy ride was incredible, the sandboarding was super fun, and the sunset on the dunes was simply spectacular. What I liked the most was that they took us to the swing and viewpoint in the middle of the desert, a unique place with stunning views that made the experience even more special. In addition to having a great time, I took some of the most beautiful photos of my entire trip. The team was very friendly, professional, and always attentive to ensure we enjoyed every moment. If I return to Huacachina, I would choose them again without hesitation.
Muchas gracias por tu comentario nos motiva a seguir trabajando para ustedes.
We had an amazing time. It was the best tour I have ever been on. I am 60 years old and always wanted to slide boogie board on dunes after seeing it on YouTube. It was a blast.
Thank you very much for your trust.
Amazing. The driver was skilled and after realizing that we were confident going a little faster through the sand he gave us a good kick of adrenaline. Also the sand sliding activities were well explained and funny. Everybody had a lot of fun. Thank you
Thank you so much for your comment; it helps us to keep improving.
Probably one of the best experiences I had in Peru (maybe ever). The dune buggy ride alone is so much fun and then throw in the sandboarding. What an experience!
Thank you very much for your comment and for trusting our agency.
