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).

Guided dune-to-oasis trekking in Paracas

This journey is on foot. You cross the crests of Desierto California with a guide who knows the terrain, climb dunes by hand and arrive at Oasis Costa Rica after 4 to 5 hours of walking from Paracas. It is the most demanding experience Chaucato offers, and also the quietest: small groups, no vehicles, just the wind and the landscape.

A special Chaucato surprise

"And just when you think the experience has reached its best moment… Chaucato still has a special surprise saved for the end."

Duration and logistics

About 4 hours from Paracas, including the arranged round-trip road transfer. Recommended for nature lovers, walkers, couples and small groups looking for silence, fresh air and wide views of the desert coast.
