Have questions?
Wegot answers
Is it worth visiting the Huacachina Oasis?
Yes, absolutely. It is the only natural oasis in South America and offers a perfect combination of stunning desert landscapes, desert adrenaline, and wine culture in a single day from Lima.
What do you do on the Huacachina Full Day tour from Lima?
The complete itinerary includes a boat excursion to the Ballestas Islands in Paracas, a guided pisco and wine tasting at a traditional winery in Ica, and the dune buggy and sandboarding adventure in the Huacachina dunes.
What are the tubulares or dune buggies on the Huacachina Full Day tour?
They are dune buggies specially designed for the desert sand. They are equipped with tubular safety cages and powerful engines that allow you to speed through the dunes as if you were on a roller coaster.
Is sandboarding included and is experience needed?
Yes, on our Huacachina Full Day tour, the sandboarding equipment is 100% included. You don’t need any prior experience; our instructor guide will teach you how to slide safely, whether standing up or lying face down on the board.”
How difficult or tiring is the Huacachina Full Day tour?
The physical difficulty on our Huacachina Full Day tour is low, making it suitable for everyone. However, it is an approximately 16 hour tour including travel and activities, so resting well the night before is highly recommended.
What is the best season and time to visit the Huacachina Full Day tour?
Any month of the year is perfect because the Ica desert always has sunny weather. The best time for activities in the dunes is from 2:00 PM onwards, when the sun goes down and the sand no longer burns. Huacachina Full Day awaits you.
Do you get to see the sunset on the Huacachina Full Day tour?
No, our Huacachina Full Day tour starts the return journey to Lima before sunset due to highway logistics. If your priority is to watch the sunset in the desert, we highly recommend our 2 day packages with an overnight stay, such as our 2 Day Huacachina Tour.
What is the distance between Lima and Huacachina and how long is the trip?
The distance is approximately 300 kilometers. Travel time in our private tourist transportation is about 4 hours each way along the South Pan-American Highway.
Is it very hot in Huacachina and what clothes should I wear?
During the day, the heat is intense and reaches 30°C (86°F), so you should wear light clothing, a hat, and sunscreen. However, for the evening return trip to Lima, it gets cooler, so make sure to bring a light jacket.
Is the Huacachina Full Day tour safe and suitable for children?
It is completely safe. On our Huacachina Full Day tour, we travel with professional drivers and certified guides. The tour is suitable for children over 5 years old; the little ones greatly enjoy the boat ride and the controlled adrenaline on the dunes.
