Beginner friendly and good English - Good, cheap, and amazing experience for a first-timer. Me and my girlfriend had a blast. Really good instructor who was patient and helpful. Let me do it for myself after for a little while, nice company. (Reviewed at: 2025-01-09)

Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or a complete novice, the waves in Lima are calling your name. Don’t miss the chance to experience the thrill of surfing in one of the world’s most iconic surf destinations.

Desert Thrills: Sandboarding Adventure

For those seeking a different kind of thrill, the sand dunes near Lima offer an exhilarating sandboarding experience. Just a short 1.5-hour drive from the city, you can find yourself amidst towering dunes, ready to embark on a desert adventure. The Sandboarding Experience is available on both February 8th and 9th, with sessions starting as early as 7:00 AM and running until 8:00 PM.

This adventure begins with an off-road journey across the desert, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. Once you reach the dunes, the real fun begins as you learn to sandboard down the slopes. The experience is both thrilling and accessible, with instructors who cater to all skill levels. A review from November 2024 captures the essence of this adventure:

Personalized and Fun Adventure - This was an incredible experience and vastly underestimated! We were picked up promptly from our hotel for a personal experience - 1.5-hour drive south to the desert where we experienced a super cool and wild off-road/desert ride in a Toyota Land Cruiser (thanks to our driver Rodrigo!) and then a couple of hours learning to sandboard down some huge dunes with our instructor Abram!! This was so much fun - and also a workout! This is the tour for you if you want a personalized and fun adventure not too far from Lima! We highly recommend. (Reviewed at: 2024-11-12)

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking to try something new, sandboarding in Lima is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Embrace the Sun: Exploring Lima’s Outdoors

Beyond the waves and dunes, Lima offers a plethora of outdoor activities to enjoy under the sun. With excellent visibility and mild winds, it’s a perfect weekend to explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods and scenic coastlines. Take a leisurely stroll along the Malecón, a picturesque boardwalk that offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. Or, rent a bike and explore the city’s parks and plazas, soaking in the local culture and atmosphere.

The high UV index means you’ll want to pack sunscreen, but the pleasant temperatures and clear skies make it an ideal time to be outdoors. Whether you’re sipping a pisco sour at a beachside café or exploring the historic streets of Barranco, Lima’s charm is sure to captivate you.

This weekend, embrace the sun and let Lima’s outdoor adventures inspire your spirit. From surfing and sandboarding to simply enjoying the city’s vibrant culture, there’s something for everyone to enjoy in this sun-soaked paradise.
