★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 100 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $25Our pick

Huacachina dune buggy review: a thrilling 2-hour desert ride, sandboarding, sunset views, costs, safety, and booking tips.

“The activity in itself was amazing. HOWEVER, it was organized very poorly. We got to the meeting point 10mn before the time, and no one was there, nor where they reachable. We had to insist to find someone that then oriented us towards the group, that was already heading towards the activity without even trying to reach us prior to understand whether we were around or not. They just didn’t really care. Other than that the activity as I mentioned were great!”

“De enige aanbieder in Cabanaconde die een trip aanbied naar de uitzichtpunten zonder dat je vast zit aan een tweedaagse hike door de colca canyon. Hij neemt de tijd om je de geschiedenis van Cabanaconde te vertellen en de uitzichtpunten. We mochten de condors bekijken zolang we wilden. “Take your time!” Zei hij. We werden vervoerd in een goede personenauto en hij reed veilig over de wegen. Een aantal dagen later hebben we hem ook benaderd omdat we een taxi nodig hadden. Hij zorgde ervoor dat een vriend/collega ons bij ons hotel kwam ophalen en ons naar Chivay bracht zodat we verder konden naar onze volgende bestemming. Nogmaals bedankt voor…”
