Huacachina Sandskiing and Sandboarding with Snow Gear
From €42 per person
See availability →This Huacachina sandskiing and sandboarding tour uses real snow equipment, an extreme buggy over 7 giant dunes and a pisco tasting by the bonfire at sunset.
On this Huacachina sandskiing and sandboarding tour you do not slide on a simple board: you strap into proper snow equipment, with skis, boots, poles and bindings or a snowboard, and carve the desert like a slope. Bilingual local instructors teach every level, and a certified instructor stays with you.
Getting up the dunes is part of the thrill. An extreme dune buggy takes you over 7 giant dunes, well away from the usual tracks, in a three-hour ride that begins at your hotel, in Huacachina or Ica. Helmet, goggles and a bandana are provided, and an action camera records photos and videos of your runs.
As the sun goes down, the group gathers for an après-ski in the sand. The desert sunset, a bonfire, snacks, a cocktail and Peruvian pisco to taste close the outing. The whole experience lasts about four hours.
