At 5am we pick up from your hotel and travel in private transport 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 range. In ancient Quechua language Yuraq Orjo means White Mountain and in Spanish means Cerro Blanco (2070m.a.s.l or 67910 feet high). After one hour of driving we reach the closest point to the dunes available via vehicle. From here we start climbing up 3 hours, carrying our boards, energy bars, lots of sun block and enough water todrink 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 25ºC/28ºC between 9am to 2pm.
At 10am we arrive at the summit which is dry, hot, windy and of course sandy, but offers spectacular views from this white mountain, covering the green Nasca valley. Here we rest, snack and Sandboarding instructions are given. 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 11am time for best part of this trip!!! Time to feel the Cerro Blanco adrenaline rushing into your 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 12pm 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.
At 1pm can enjoy lovely swimming pool and the best restaurant in the city. This is the end of the fantastic adventure
