5.00A pleasant activity just outside Lima. The boys were very friendly and attentive when it came to teaching us what we needed. Sunset on the hills was the best.

5.00I loved the class, we practiced a lot of sliding in different types of dunes and variable difficulty. Sandboarding helped me to know my body and clear my mind, I had a lot of fun 😁. In the dunes I could appreciate the beauty of the desert and the sunset, something I loved, connected with nature and I met a new sport.
Great experience!

5.00Loved the experience to sandboard in the desert. We were the only ones there, so it felt special. It was well organised and Rolo took the time for us. Both the driver (Alberto) and Rolo (instructor) were very friendly. Also they took a lot of photos and videos for us. Recommended off-the-beaten-track tour!
Perfect and unique

5.00My favorite part was the falls, it was quite fun and apart from that there is no way to get hurt. My advice for the next visitors would be to go quite rested as the sport requires a lot of energy.
CAMPING & SANDBOARDING LIMA

5.00Rolando Huamani was our sandboard instructor & Frank Tello was our driver. Both very professional & knowledgeable. Beside the picturisque dunes, they both made this experience unforgettable. We got picked up on time at our airb&n, and had a few lessons on our first day. They set up the camping space and made our dinner (hot dogs) and calientitos ( warm pisco drink). We went on a night walk through the dunes with only the moonlight, and were able to descend from a dune on our boards at 11 pm with just the moonlight and the jeeps light. Next day we had coffee and bread & continued our lessons descending from 2 dunes and headed back home. IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING & UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !!! Also, Rolando took really cool pictures & videos.
Exciting
