The "Cerro Blanco Sandboarding Tour" offers a chance to sandboard down one of the largest sand dunes in the world. Just how large is the dune? At the peak of the dune you are standing at 2,078 meters high, and you can look down onto numerous mountains that are below you. The scenery is unforgettable.
This tour offers an excellent combination of adventure, uphill hiking, and beautiful desert scenery. However, getting to the top of the dune is no easy feat. First we will pick you up at your hotel in Nazca before the sunrises, and transport you by car approximately 30 minutes to the east, along the highway to Abancay. From there, we will spend 4-5 hours walking uphill until we reach a high point on the dune. At approximately 2,000 meters in altitude, we will practice sandboarding on some of the small dunes found at the top of Cerro Blanco. After the visitors feel comfortable with the concept of sandboarding, they are welcome to sandboard all the way down to the bottom of the dune, almost a kilometer away.
This tour includes pickup at your hotel, private transport to the starting point of the tour at "Kilometer 28," sandboards, emergency cell phones, an english-speaking tour guide, and private transport back to your hotel afterwards.
We will pick you up very early in the morning (usually at 4:00 AM), when the temperatures are cool, since hiking up a massive sand dune in the height of the mid-day sun is not recommended.
