Important Notes

15 & 16 JANUARY - NO BUGGY/SANDBOARDING TOUR

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.

SANDBOARDING IS STILL POSSIBLE! Despite the buggy element of the tours being suspended for these days, it is still possible to rent out sandboards and enjoy the thrill in the dunes close to the town! Speak to your Peru Hop guide about this.
