Great experience! - Loved the experience to sandboard in the desert. We were the only ones there, so it felt special. It was well organised and Rolo took the time for us. Both the driver (Alberto) and Rolo (instructor) were very friendly. Also they took a lot of photos and videos for us. Recommended off-the-beaten-track tour!

I like it very much, free and destress, the insteructor is warm and friendly, 10/10 - My favorite part was the falls, it was quite fun and apart from that there is no way to get hurt. My advice for the next visitors would be to go quite rested as the sport requires a lot of energy.

CAMPING & SANDBOARDING LIMA - Rolando Huamani was our sandboard instructor & Frank Tello was our driver. Both very professional & knowledgeable. Beside the picturisque dunes, they both made this experience unforgettable. We got picked up on time at our airb&n, and had a few lessons on our first day. They set up the camping space and made our dinner (hot dogs) and calientitos ( warm pisco drink). We went on a night walk through the dunes with only the moonlight, and were able to descend from a dune on our boards at 11 pm with just the moonlight and the jeeps light. Next day we had coffee and bread & continued our lessons descending from 2 dunes and headed back home. IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING & UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE !!! Also, Rolando took really cool pictures & videos.
