Sandboarding Tour in Trujillo: Learn to Ride Sand Dunes

Ride sand dunes as the sun drops toward the Pacific

A sandboarding activity in Trujillo where you ride sand dunes with a guide, board and private transport included. The tour runs two hours, covers the basics for beginners and advanced riders alike, and ends as the light fades: the best time to shoot photos. Children from age 9 are welcome. Pickup is included from your hotel.

The experience

You'll start with private pickup from your accommodation, then head to the dunes outside Trujillo with your sandboard and guide. The guide speaks Spanish and walks you through the fundamentals in a safe, hands-on setting, whether you've never strapped in before or you've ridden sand elsewhere, the session scales to what you can do. You spend the core of the two hours actually riding, not watching a demo or listening to a lecture.

The timing matters: the tour finishes as the sun sets, which is when the light turns golden and the dunes throw long shadows. That's when most people pull out a camera. You'll have time to shoot photos and soak in the moment before the ride back to town.

What’s included

• Private transportation from your hotel.
• sandboarding board rental.
• two-hour guided session with a Spanish-speaking instructor.
• sunset time for photos.
