The best way to engage with the desert landscape - We had half a day with Aldo and Eddie on the dunes north of Lima. The experience was just extraordinary. Aldo taught us (a family of four with two boys 13 and 10) how to sand board. We’ve never done any snowboarding or surfing or anything like this before, Aldo was very patient and you can tell he has a lot of experience working with kids. His passion for the sport is also contagious. The dunes were beautiful, especially during the hours near sunset. And we had it all to ourselves. When our SUV drove off the road into the dunes it really felt like an adventure. In the end we could somewhat make our way down the halfpipe, a large sand structure deep in the wilderness.
Our flight into Lima was delayed and so our experience was cut short. We didn’t have time lunch and had to go straight to this activity after getting off our flight. Aldo got us sandwiches so that we could have energy. We really appreciated that.

Amazing. - Amazing guide and incredible experience. Picked me up at the airport and there was a couple along with myself that rode in the back row of the SUV. Gave great instructions. Be prepared to fall and get slightly injured. I was going too fast when I basically ate it and rolled over. Was sore for a few days but definitely worth it.

Fantastic - We had never sand nor snow boarded before. Aldo was a patient and professional teacher. We learnt a lot and had fun! Carlos sand dune driving was extraordinary but we felt safe!

More than an experience, a life changinging adventure. - I came to Lima last on my trip, and initially, I felt like I should have put more days in Cusco. Alonso, Sebastian, and Rolando changed my mind. I had such a fantastic time. Alonso and Sebastian picked me up promptly at my hotel, where we then traveled to pick up my instructor Rolando. Everyone was super friendly and were joking and laughing the whole way to the sandboarding experience.
Alonso is an excellent driver who knows the dunes well. If you have never been off roading before, do not worry. You are in good hands. Alonso is very experienced.
Once out in the dunes, Rolando helped familiarize me with the equipment and assessed my experience level. He was very patient and explained everything I would need to know as a complete newbie. He very quickly had me up and practicing on some small dunes, encouraging me the whole way. By the end, he successfully had me board down a 100m dune! At all times, he made sure I was comfortable with whatever dune we were about to ride.
The ride back was just as fun as the ride out, and we even went through the flavellas as a kind of bonus tour. 12/10, 100% recommend

WOW - WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Everything about this excursion was excellent from the beginning to end. The driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off. The instructor was super sweet and made us feel confident (although we had never done this) he instructed us so well that we thought we were pros at the end. 10/10 recommend!

Amazing!! - This experience was one of a kind. Our kids had the time of their lives. I would recommend this to anyone traveling to Lima. We are all skiers with NO snowboarding experience. We were given a crash course and in the end were able to go down the sand dunes on the "sandboard"!

Fantastic day - highly recommend! - Aldo and Carlos run an exceptional tour - they’re kind, professional, and knowledgeable. We loved having the dunes all to ourselves - we had the best time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this to anyone! Perfect for a day trip from Lima - beats spending 8 hours on a bus to Huacachina!

Afternoon of Sandboarding - Great afternoon of Sandboarding with Ronaldo. They were able to accommodate use last minute, we reached out only 2 days before the tour.
They didn’t have ski boots in my size at the last minute so I boarded instead, Ronaldo was a great instructor and I was riding after a brief lesson and improved through the day.
We had a good snack of fruit and water, and a prompt driver.
Great day, would do again!
