This is our traditional dune buggy tour, driven by our expert drivers and exploring the nearby dunes and desert. This tour is catered to our passengers in the sense that it can be a soft trip into the desert with more of a focus on sight-seeing and photography, or it can be an adrenaline experience with speed and big drops as the dune buggy plummets down a dune. This tour includes sandboarding and instructor, however there are many tourists who opt not to practice this sport. The tour covers a 25 k route through the desert as well as a visit to another natural Oasis called Orovilca. All of our dune buggies leaving from Huacachina have private accident insurance, and the highest quality mechanical maintenance. Tours can leave at any time during the day, but our most popular departure time is in the afternoon, because it is a little bit cooler and in this tour passengers have a chance to watch a spectacular sunset. Duration of the tour is typically 1 hour.

The desert is one of the best places to camp because of its clear skies and visibility of the stars. After our traditional Huacachina Dune Buggy Tour, we will bring groups of tourists, friends, high school trips, or couples to a special camping spot we have chosen in the desert. It is a place in the middle of dunes that protect from the wind and far away from any city lights. Here we will cook you a special BBQ meal by a campfire. For groups of people we provide a small live band which plays typical criollo music. Upon request for couples the drivers will drop you off and pick you up in the morning so that you have some privacy. We provide camping equipment, but we consider sleeping bags to be a personal item. If you need sleeping bags you will be charged an extra $5 rental/cleaning fee.

The Ocucaje Desert has the largest marine fossil deposit in the world. It is for the most part, very rarely explored and appreciated. Here, you can find entire whale bones and sea life dating back from 8 to 20 million years ago. This part of the desert was covered by ocean in ancient times, leaving behind evidence of a variety of sea life in the form of fossils. You will have a chance to search for ancient shark teeth fossils, a common fossil to find, which are scattered along the desert floor, uncovered by the wind. We have several tour durations ranging from a 1 1/2 glimpse to a 6 hour in depth day of discovery.

To the west of Ica City the coastline is completely undeveloped. The only way to access this part of the coast is by 4x 4 vehicle due to the cordillera of daunting dunes that line the coastline. In this full day tour, we will bring you on a 60 km route through the desert arriving at the virgen beaches of Ica, a place only known to straying fisherman and the few lucky tourists that visit each year. There are unbelievable costal views, and intriguing rock formations. Here you will explore the coastline, visiting natural caves, a popular sea lion sun bathing sight, and have a chance to take a swim. We provide a BBQ lunch. For groups of 4 or more, we will bring a fishing instructor who will show you the artisenal fishing tecnique, so that you can enjoy fishing from the rocky parts of the shore. You will return to see the sunset in Huacachina.

This tour is a combination of our full day Paleontology Tour in the Ocucaje Desert and our Virgen Beaches Tour. We will provide you with camping equipment and food. We consider sleeping bags to be a personal item, so if you need them you will be charged a $5 rental/cleaning fee.
