During these days the Pisco leg of the Dakar Rally will be taking place in the dunes surrounding the oasis. For this reason, the local authorities have *banned all tour operators from entering the dunes* in the interest of safety and to make way for the event. Those of you with this tour included in your ticket will be refunded for the full value ($15.00USD) of this element of the tour.
