The experience

Your instructor and driver pick you up at your hotel in a 4x4 truck and head south on the Pan-American Highway toward the District of Chilca. There's an optional stop for artisan breads and facilities before you reach the dunes. Once the truck leaves the road and crosses into the sand field, you'll arrive at the sandboarding spot where the real work starts.

The instructor shows you the board and teaches the basic techniques for control and sliding. You start on a small dune to find your stance and learn the fundamentals, then progress to larger dunes as your skills improve. The driver uses the truck as an elevator to get you back to the top between runs, so you can repeat the descents two to three times depending on how fast you pick it up. The whole session is captured on your camera so you have the footage to take home.

Bring sunscreen, sunglasses and comfortable sportswear. The operator provides the sandboard, helmet, bottled water and transport. The half-day format means you're back at your hotel with time left in the afternoon or evening, depending on which departure you choose.

What’s included

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off in a private 4x4 vehicle.
  • sandboard and helmet.
  • qualified instructor for the lesson.
  • bottled water and snacks.
  • all transport to and from the dunes.
