Aymeth was a great tour guide and very friendly. The tour was well organized. My only complaint was the actual bus as there was a bathroom in there being used by 19-20 people. It smelled terrible on the drive back home. Maybe they can try to clean it during the long stops or add some deodorizers.

First half of it was long journey (3 hours plus) on a comfortable big coach bus (with toilet but not for for big business), breakfast was decent but lunch was not good and expensive, you can look for alternatives around the area and then meet up with the group at the agreed time. After lunch is another 1 hour 20 mins drive to the second half of the package which is the most exciting part, sand buggy to explore the dune and then do some sand boarding, and each time you slide down, you dont have to climb just, the buggy will pick you, you will also get to see the underwhelming sunset and then you head back to the hostel and wait for the group and you hop back on the bus for a 4 hour plus drive (depends on traffic) to Lima.

We had a great time at the Ballestas Islands where we saw lots of wildlife on the boat ride and also in the afternoon at Huacachina where we spent hours aboard a dune buggy and got to go sand boarding. The guide Mari was professional and helpful as were all the other guides and drivers. One thing I would recommend other travellers is not to take the lunch that the tour takes you to as it’s a bit overpriced and the food was subpar, instead, there are lots of options nearby at smaller eateries which are better priced - you’ll have plenty of time so you can walk around and choose what you want to eat.
