Sol was a wonderful guide, all the activities were fun, I really enjoyed this day! Make sure to bring a jacket for the boat part because it goes really fast and it's windy!

Sol was a fun, interactive and informative guide. The thrill of the day was fantastic. A highlight being the sand buggy’s. Bus ride was long, however comfortable and felt incredibly at ease and safe throughout the day.

Angie and Julio were great! You will need to pay for the lunch and bathroom . I had dollars and visa card which they did accept. Make sure to have sunglasses and a bandanna .

What an adventure!! So much fun it felt like 3 days in one. Bus was so comfortable to sleep on during travel. Julio the driver was a homie, and Angie was the nicest host, didn’t leave us behind but kept the group together! We recommend renting snowboards at the oasis. If u have experience with skiing or snowboarding there are skis and snowboards for rent. Thanks so much!!

Got picked up at my hostel and proceeded to have one of the best experiences I’ve had since visiting Lima. Our guide, Angie, was very helpful along with the driver, Julio. The boat ride was beautiful. Followed by a lunch with free wine tasting. Then we headed off to Huacachina where we got on a dune buggy and tried sand boarding. It was an incredible experience. It was so much fun. I would highly recommend booking this tour.
