Huacachina Buggy Tour from Ica with Sandboarding Stop
From €36 per person
See availability →A Huacachina buggy tour from Ica that mixes the history of the oasis with a ride through the dunes and a sandboarding stop, with hotel pickup in central Ica or a meeting point at the oasis.
The Huacachina buggy tour from Ica is the quick way to get a taste of the desert, only about five kilometres from the city. The guide first tells you how the famous oasis came to be, then the buggy sets off into the sand.
For the rest of the ride you cross the dunes, stopping to photograph the strange shapes the wind has sculpted and the view of the eastern edge of the Peruvian Andes. At one group of dunes the buggy stops and you try sandboarding, sliding down on a board made for the sand. After the last run the buggy takes you back across the desert to the Huacachina lagoon.
- Buggy ride and sandboard included
- A guide who speaks English and Spanish
- Transport by car or minibus
You can choose between two options. With pickup, you are collected and returned to hotels in the centre of Ica only. Without pickup, you make your own way to the El Bambú hotel in the oasis, which suits anyone staying elsewhere in the city. The tourist tax is not included.
