Camping in the middle of the desert is an amazing and unique experience that you should not miss. It is adventurous and certainly not a standard tour. From sandboarding through the desert during the day to counting the stars in the clear sky at night. This tour will stay with you for life.

The desert located in the Ica province offers one of the best places to camp. We will take you to the desert, where you will then camp for 1 night. Here you can enjoy all the peace and quiet and you are away from all the hustle and bustle. The remote desert of Ica contains the largest sand dunes in the world. It is amazing how many stars you can see at night in a clear sky, away from light pollution.

In the middle of the desert of Peru lies Huacachina, a special oasis city. This city has a blue lagoon surrounded by palm trees, sand dunes and rustic but elegant hotels. An unprecedented place and popular with many backpackers. The tour starts here with adventurous activities such as the traditional Huacachina Dune Buggy & Sandboarding tour. For this you drive for a while through the desert landscape and stop several times to slide down a high dune.

Afterwards we go to a place to see the beautiful sunset. This view can be called fairytale and nowhere in the world as beautiful as in a desert. There is absolutely nothing, except the dunes, silence and the beautiful oasis.

Afterwards we leave for a special camping place, chosen in this beautiful desert. Surrounded by large sand dunes, protected from the wind and away from the city lights.

Here we have a special BBQ meal around a campfire. The BBQ includes, beef and vegetable kebab, chicken, sausages, salad buffet, corn and potatoes. Drink a Pisco cocktail around the campfire while you exchange experiences with fellow travelers.
