Where is your base and how do I get there?

Our base is at Km 234 of the Antigua Panamericana Sur highway (Paracas / Pisco district), exactly 20 minutes by car from El Chaco (the Paracas waterfront). If you don't have your own transport, choose the departure from Paracas, which includes a round-trip transfer from your hotel or a central meeting point in Paracas.

Do I need previous experience for sandboarding or kayaking?

Not at all. All our activities are led by local instructors who teach you from scratch. On the dunes you can slide down sitting or standing, whichever you prefer, with recreational boards and the right wax. At the oasis we provide life jackets and constant assistance.

What exactly does the Sunset Experience include?

The sunset over the dunes of Desierto California, a setup with rugs, cushions, tables and ambient lighting, a toast with careful presentation, and snacks, fruit and drinks according to the service configuration. The bonfire is included when operating conditions allow. It can be booked on its own, without booking another experience first.

How is my booking confirmed and how can I pay?

When you send your request through our form or the WhatsApp button, a Chaucato coordinator will reply in less than 5 minutes to confirm availability and send you the payment details (Yape, Plin, Peruvian bank transfer or a secure payment link for international cards).

Sandboarding and dunes in Desierto California

The dunes of Desierto California, between Pisco and Paracas, are the setting for this adventure. You ride the crests in 4x4 vehicles built for desert terrain, reach viewpoints where the horizon is nothing but sand and sky, and board down at your own pace with guidance before every drop. Your first time in the desert, done right.

verified_user Safe, family-friendly and fun

What matters are the dunes, the scenery and the moments you share. You explore Desierto California with experienced drivers and ride your board down at your own pace, with instructions before every descent.
