Highlights
-
Dito Sand Xsports - This is a tour for Skiers and Snowboarders who ride on snow. (Also for snowboarder’s beginners).
The 1st hour, we walk around 10 minutes to the training area. If you snowboard / Ski, we do short runs to adapt to the sand, or you take sandboard lessons. We also teach you how to wax boards.
The next 2 hours, we enjoy the adrenaline in our funny dune buggy to go around the desert of Huacachina to ride the highest sand dunes. In average, we have 4 runs, and if we have enough time, we do 5 runs.
All the time you are with a guide instructor, he rides together with you and takes pictures and videos with a GoPro during all the tour.
There is going to be time for sunset before we go back to Huacachina, where we will share all the gopro pictures & videos with you. (You need to bring a pendrive or SD card to tranfer all the files) .

Unreal - Whole thing was incredible start to finish, the teachers were so patient and helpful, and everything was well planned and thought out. Experienced and beginner were put with separate teachers so no one was slowed down and rushed and it was an awesome experience. Thank you guys!

Exhilarating activity with insane views - Incredible experience. Aldahir was our guide / instructor and he was fantastic (to fit the activity in, we had a non-standard timeslot in the morning).
We were 3 skiers + 1 boarder + 1 belly-boarder and Aldahir made sure each one of us had an unforgettable experience. He also made sure to capture great videos of us on one of our phones so we could revisit the memories later.
The dune buggying was also very exciting and fun.

"One of the best days of my Life" -Max Prada, 9 years old - We chose Ditto because of the great reviews and they could not be more accurate. Upon arrival we were greeted by Jessica who is super nice and helpful. My personal guide was Aldahir, he is amazing and very patient. Mr. DItto himself was in charge of my wife and 9 year old boy who had at the end (in his own words) "one of the best days of my life".
Overall a great experience, highly recommended.
Pro tip: Nobody tells you this but the dune buggy ride is the best rollercoaster ride you have ever been in your life, EVER, hands down so hold tight and yell like crazy.

Sand Dune Adventure - This was a very fun adventure and the team was very helpful. With every new hill they took the time to make sure you were safe and ready to go. The groups stay small which makes the experience more special. The team even took the time to recommend restaurants in the area. If your considering booking do it, you won’t regret it.

Best experience in Peru! - Best day in huacachina, we had a really fun experience. We were taken out in dune buggies and the driver took us up and down hills like it was a roller coaster! We were skiing and were out on 5 different high hills, some with some small jumps that the guides built. They were very skilled and good at helping, giving tips and challenging us! We watched the sunset and the guides provided après ski afterwards! An experience in Peru we will never forget. This is a must-do!

Papa, the best instructor - Was the best!! I am Australian, so never snow boarded or ski, but managed to board for the 1st time. I was the only 1 in my tour so had a private tour. Papa was the instructor was the best, heaps of help, took numerous photos and videos of the experience. The best fun in Peru and for my trip. Definitely worth it!!
