6. BandurriaHuacho Bandurria is a large archaeological site on the Huaura River in Peru going back to 4,000 BC. It is located about 3 km south of the city of Huacho, in Huacho District, Huaura Province, Lima Region. It corresponds chronologically to the period known as the 'Late Archaic' or 'Late preceramic' covering the years from about 4000 to 2000 BC. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Sandboarding in Peru is an amazing activity for all the adventure lovers out there. With our half-day tour from Lima, you won’t even need a lot of time to enjoy this activity. In comparison to the famous Huacachina Oasis (4+ hours away from Lima), where you can also do sand boarding, Lima’s dunes are only a little over an hour away.
The best about it all is that you will feel like you have reserved the entire dune landscape for yourself as there is nobody around. In Huacachina, it feels like a new tour starts every 5 minutes and the entire place is already overrun by tourists.
During this tour, you will enter the dunes in an off-road jeep with a professional driver that will show you what it means to have fun in the dunes. When you get to the sandboarding dunes, you will start practicing at a smaller dune with our professional instructor so that you can get the hang of it before taking on the bigger dunes.
After 2-3 trials, you will most likely have gotten the hang of it. And if not, you can also sit or even lay on the sand board! Once you have reached the bottom of the dune, you will be picked up by the jeep again to go to the starting point of the dune. You will repeat that around 3 times, so you have plenty of time to practice and to get used to doing sandboarding in Lima.
In case the weather is good and you feel like it, we can make a short stop at the beach. In case you want to do that, make sure to bring your swimsuit and a towel.
If you have snowboarded before you will definitely have an advantage but you will also surely love this new experience. Please make sure to bring your sunscreen, as Lima’s sun can get really intense. And other than that, just enjoy sandboarding in Lima!

Lima, Peru - Magic Water Cirquit Park
The Circuito Magico del Agua (Magic Water Circuit) in the Parque de la Reserva is the most fun you can have in Lima, Peru for the least amount of money. The fountain complex is listed in the Guinness World Book of Records as the largest in the world. It has 14 fountains in different sizes and shapes, some of which are for viewing only, but others that invite interaction, and one upon which a laser light show is projected three times each night. The park is open Wednesday through Sunday and on holidays, from 3 p.m.to 10:30 p.m. and the laser shows happen at 7:15, 8:15, and 9:30 p.m. Admission is a mere 4 Peruvian Soles, or about $1.50 per person in U.S.dollars.
