Located just outside the bustling city of Ica, and known as the Oasis of America, Huacachina is a tiny village built around a natural lagoon. Surrounding Huacachina are towering sand dunes standing several hundred feet high and extending for miles into the horizon. Because few places in the world offer sand dunes the size of the ones found in Huacachina, it has become well known for attracting tourists from all over the world drawn to the novelty of racing up and down the steep dunes at zooming speeds while strapped to four-wheel-drive dune buggies. Not to mention the incredible landscape views and colors, especially the desert sunsets visible from the rim of these dunes during late-afternoon rides. If you’re a fan of rollercoasters and adventure sports, dune buggy riding in Huacachina is essential for a complete trip to Southern Peru.
