Sandboarding the Coastal Dunes: Adrenaline at the Desert's…

The towering sand dunes flanking Trujillo's desert coast offer a world-class sandboarding experience — equal parts thrill and surreal beauty. Strap a board to your feet and carve down 100-metre faces of golden sand with the Pacific glittering on the horizon: pure bucket-list adrenaline.

What to expect

Your guide collects you at Salaverry and drives you to the coastal dune fields that pile up dramatically between the ocean and the sugar-cane flatlands. After a brief safety and technique session, you ride lying, seated, or standing down faces that would humble a ski slope — with soft landings guaranteed by deep sand. Between runs, the silence and the scale of the desert landscape — broken only by the distant Pacific — is profoundly cinematic. Guides photograph and video your runs throughout, so you leave with evidence to astonish friends at home.
