Tips from the community
Strap on your board and get ready to send dunes. The famed jewel of Huacachina, Peru, is no longer the hidden gem that it once was, but that hardly takes away from the marvel. Spend the day on a dune buggy and a sand board then cap it off with a golden hour hike up the dune for one of Peru’s most memorable sunset views. No day in Huacachina is complete without cracking open a few Cusquenas and watching the waning sun transform the golden sandscapes of the desert.
