Our excursion starts from the Hotel "La Casa del Bamboo", located in the surroundings of the Huacachina Oasis. Then, our buggy driver will accompany our passengers to a tourist control booth, where our passengers must pay a tourist tax of S/3.60 soles per person. Then we will proceed to climb a small sand dune to board the Buggies and start the tour. Our professional driver will start the desert tour and will make different stops so that our clients can appreciate the landscape, so they can take pictures. Then we will drive our vehicle to the top of a large dune where our instructor guide will show you how to practice the sport of Sandboarding. Once at the top you can enjoy this sport, and you can also take many photos. Finally we will return to the Huacachina lagoon, where passengers must return to the starting point (Hotel El Bamboo) and end the service. In the office we can offer our tourists taxi services.
Tourists will visit the desert of Huacachina (Ica) in a Buggy with a capacity of 10 passengers (approximately). The passengers will take a tour of the dunes and we will make stops to practice sandboarding.

My husband and I had an amazing time on this dune buggy ride through the Huacachina oasis. Our driver drifted off of sand dunes and made our buggy ride a real thriller!! We also stopped a few times and went down on the sandboards on our bellies. Going later in the day was great as we got to watch a beautiful sunset as well. Worth the money, so much fun!!

Bumpy ATV ride, beautiful sunset view, thrilling sand surfing experience and finally night time view of Huacachina….Must do trip. Just be careful at sand surfing.

We did this activity as part of the day trip from Lima, the drive is really long, like 4 hours. The activity itself is really fun. Dune Buggy and sand ski are so fun that the 1 hour time easily passing by. Also the view of the sand dune and the pond is stunning. There are many local people selling the buggy tour in that area, You can just walk in and get this activity schedule without advance booking.
