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) .

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!!

Schifoan in the desert - We are from Austria and missed our mountains and beloved skiing so much, that we wanted to try something familiar on a new playground. ALDAHIR our guide explained everything so well and it was an amazing experience. First the buggy ride up and down the dunes and then after the first instruction we went for skiing and snowboarding.
Absolutely worth the money and on top of it also an amazing sunset in the unreal area of the desert.

The best sandboarding teacher/experience in Huacachina! - Dito is the best! What a patient, knowledgeable teacher. His English was excellent, which really helped during our lesson since we don’t speak any Spanish. Me and my boyfriend had the BEST time learning to sandboard with him and the team. We felt safe and comfortable and the experience itself was just epic. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to try sand boarding with a pro!

Beyond Fun! - Wow! This surpassed my expectations by far! This was so fun! The driver was incredibly experienced and gave us a ride of our lives! And Aldahir, the instructor, was awesome too. He was very knowledgeable and gave us great tips. He also took a lot of great footage and photos of our experience that we got to keep. I definitely recommend them! Note: I lost a small bag with a lot of personal things inside on that trip. By the time I figured it out, we were already in another city over an hour away. I called and asked them if they could check the buggy we were in. Long story short, they found the bag and arranged a driver to bring it to me! So thankful!
