What the tour is

It is a buggy ride through the Ica desert with a stop to practice sandboarding, that is, sliding down the dunes on a board. The listing includes the buggy ride and the board. To see the oasis and the combo with the Ballestas Islands, see the Huacachina page.

How long it takes and how to get there

The listing says 45 minutes to 2 hours, departing from Ica. It includes transport by car or minibus and, depending on the option, hotel pickup and drop-off. Check in the option you choose whether the transfer is covered or whether you must reach the meeting point yourself.

What to bring

For the desert, wear comfortable clothes you do not mind filling with sand, closed shoes or shoes that are easy to take off, sunglasses and a layer of warmth if you go out late. Bring cash too, for whatever is paid separately. Drinks and the Huacachina tourist tax are not in the price, according to the listing.

What to combine it with

Since the tour is short, it fits well in a stop in Ica along the south coast route. You can add the Ballestas Islands or the flight over the Nazca Lines on other days. Plan the outings without rushing, because each one has its own length.
