Sandboarding in Huacachina
Huacachina is located just outside the city of Ica, about 4.5 hours south of Lima and 10 hours from Arequipa (by tourist class bus). La Huacachina is a small attractive lagoon, famous for the medicinal properties of its waters. Super landscape surrounded by high sandbanks, palm tree groves and age old Huarango trees (Carob tree).
By the ends of the XIX century Huacachina was practically uninhabited, until the Italian Angela Perotti rediscovered the medical properties of water and sand of the lagoon, specially for the cure of skin and rheumatism illnesses. An ideal place for relax or for the desert adventures. Buggies and Sandboarding has become popular on the sand dunes (Huacachina) an ideal area to take to the steep sandy slopes of the desert.
