My name is Rafael and I am the founder of Sandride Lima since 2012. I am a passionate traveler and sandboard guide. On my tour you will get a combination of adventures in the sand dune desert. You will have the opportunity to try sandboarding for the first time, or ride the hills if you are a snowboarder. I want to share with you everything I have learned in my life about this beautiful sport.

 

Embark on an extraordinary journey to Marcahuasi, one of Peru’s seven wonders, nestled in the breathtaking province of Huarochirí. Just 83 kilometers from Lima, you’ll ascend through scenic routes to the serene village of San Pedro de Casta, situated at 3,500 meters above sea level.

Nowadays, the new road allows us to shorten the walk to just 30 minutes. However, keep in mind that we’ll be at a very high altitude (4000 meters above sea level). You may feel a little dizzy, but that’s okay, we’ll go at a pace that’s comfortable for you.

Yes, in very special cases with advance notice and with an additional fee, we can organize a sunset and camping experience for you. Be sure to make the request as early as possible.

Breakfast: coffee, eggs, toast, butter, and ham

It’s true that Marcahuasi is a magical place, so it’s possible to see shooting stars and perhaps something out of the ordinary.
