We loved Huachina, it was a highlight of our time in Peru. I think that we stayed at the same guest house even! Walking up that sand dune out back was tough work, but what a view! The dune buggy ride is out of this world eh? We were stopped by the police on the way out telling us that it is very dangerous but we kept on going anyway. Someone said that a tourist died a week earlier but that was never confirmed… Needless to say I was white knuckled through the whole ride thinking that we were going to tip. But we made it safe and sound and it was a blast!
Huachina has a spot in our itinerary and we definitely plan to be there for the dunes! Do you get alot of bruises from sandboarding? We heard of a traveller who came out of Huachina rather battered!
I never even knew such a thing existed. Something I've definitely got to try now. I'm not much of a snowboarder so I'll probably suck at sandboarding, but looks like fun.
We are very good snowboarders and we sucked and sandboarding, so maybe you will rock at it Anil!:)

I haven't been to huacahina but I heard a lot of good things about the place. What really interest me from looking for blogs about huacachina is because of the sandboarding that is very famous around the world.

According to Dr Dunes Huacachina is one of the top ten sandboarding locations in the world, they even host international sandboarding events. I have yet to visit this location but the information provided in this blog has convinced me that i must visit. I wonder if its possible to do a Bedouin-esque camping experience under the stars, this has always been a dream of mine.
