Sandboarding Tour on Cerro Blanco
Tour Description
We start early in the morning, 4:00 am, before sunrise. This timing allows us to avoid the intense heat of the day and fully enjoy the trek.
Our journey begins with a pickup from your hotel in Nazca by our driver and tour guide. After a short 30-minute drive towards the Andean slopes, we arrive at KM 28, the starting point of our trek. The initial part of the hike takes us along a stony path, surrounded by cactus vegetation and desert trees native to the region.
We follow a gentle trail that gradually leads us up the massive dune, making the ascent more manageable. While the hike starts off easy, it becomes more challenging as we reach the sandy slopes. In total, it takes about 3 hours to reach the summit of Cerro Blanco.
Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Andes and the whimsical formations of the surrounding dunes. Once we’ve conquered the summit, we’ll take a well-deserved break before diving into some essential sandboarding safety techniques.
At the top, you’ll have the chance to practice on smaller dunes, preparing for the grand finale: a thrilling descent down the longest slope, stretching over 800 meters. This exhilarating ride promises a rush of adrenaline and endless fun.
After landing at the base of Cerro Blanco, we’ll embark on a 45-minute walk downhill to a designated point where our transfer will be waiting to take us back to town.
