Itinerary
Day 1
NASCA SANDBOARDING CERRO BLANCO 2070M
A Full Day Adrenaline
At 05:00 am. Pick up from your hotel (in our private four wheel drive) to the base of the biggest sand dune in the world. It is located on the route to Cusco, at the beginning of the highland mountains. In ancient quechua language Yuraq Orjo means White Mountain and in Spanish means Cerro Blanco (2070 meters above sea level). After one hour driving we reach the closest point to the dunes available via vehicle. From here we start climb up 3 hours, carrying our boards, energy bars, lots of sun block and enough water for drink on the way up to the top. Ancients of Nasca culture considered this a sacred place and made ornament offerings to this sand dune. The highest temperature on the day is 25 / 28 Cº between 09:00 Am. to 02:00 Pm.
At 10:00 am. We arrive at the summit where it is dry, hot, windy and sandy, but offers spectacular views from this white mountain, covering the green Nasca valley. Here we rest, snack and are given sand boarding instructions. You can practice on the small dune trying several techniques of the board until we are ready to go Sandboarding on the main dune.
At 11:00 am. Time for best part of this trip!!! Time to feel the Cerro Blanco adrenaline in our body and blood. Which way first? How long I will be Sandboarding? How I will take pictures? These are just some of the regular questions asked
Do you want to know more?? We cant describe exactly how it feels, you need to get your own sandy experience...... Come on!!!
At 12:00 am. One hour later, some people may still be on their way down after many amusing falls
We wait and then travel as a group back to Nasca City.
At 13:00 am. Time to enjoy a lovely swimming pool and the best restaurant in the city. This is the end of our service.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
