Touring Huacachina in Peru was on our schedule. Huacachina is a village, a desert oasis in the west of the city of Ica in southwest Peru. Huacachina is built around the lagoon, surrounded by huge dunes of sand in the middle of the desert. The small village around the lagoon is beautiful and very welcoming to tourists.

The most famous of the activities in Huacachina are the dune buggies and the sandboarding on the sand dunes that reach a height of 1,600 Ft. We decided to do both activities, the dune buggies ride and the sandboarding. We spent a few hours doing these activities and managed to enjoy these sports activities with a group of international tourists. At the end of the day, we enjoyed the sunset in the desert, the beautiful colors and the dune buggy drive with the beautiful background.
