How to get to huacachina

Huacachina is located close to the city of Ica, just 4 hours south of Lima. The small oasis can only be reached by land with the following 2 options for those traveling:

Peru Hop bus directly to Huacachina

Peru Hop is the only direct bus to Huacachina, with buses going from Lima to Huacachina and Cusco to Huacachina, as well as from Paracas, Nazca, Arequipa, etc., saving you the hassle of taking a taxi with all your bags from and to Ica.

Public bus

If taking a public bus, you would need to take a bus from Lima to Ica or Cusco to Ica. Once in Ica, you would need to find a local taxi to then take you to the oasis of Huacachina. To leave Huacachina, you would need to do the same. The Lonely Planet currently states that this is the only way to get to Huacachina, but actually Peru Hop buses have direct entry to the oasis, like previously mentioned, due to having the necessary license.

Sandboarding and dune buggying the sand dunes

This tiny village is home to less than 1,000 local people, but every day fresh influxes of travelers arrive to do one of THE must-do activities in Peru… sandboarding down the famous Huacachina dunes! The local guides take travelers on a tour of these dunes on incredibly powerful (and safe!) dune buggies, flying over large humps in what seems to be a never-ending desert of sand. This in itself is awesome, but it gets even better as they have the option to sandboard down some of these huge dunes! This can be exciting as well as nerve-racking and often you will end up with a face full of sand but it’s nothing a quick shower won’t fix! Snowboarding is world-famous, but sandboarding is thrilling, faster, and much much cheaper… an absolute must-do for anybody who visits Huacachina.

Apart from Huacachina, Ica is also famous for its Pisco and wine vineyards. Pisco is the national drink of Peru, and Ica is often called the home of Pisco. We take you on a Pisco Vineyard tour where you will discover the history of this drink, see how it is made, as well as get to try a few samples of this deliciously refreshing drink. Peru is very proud of its Pisco and you simply cannot come to Ica without having a few glasses of Peru’s national drink!

And probably one of the simplest things to do, is one of our favorites: watch the amazing sunset from the sand dunes. The incredible views mixed with desert scenery is a must-see!

huacachina Safety Tips

  • Huacachina is very small, try to bring cash with you as there are NO ATM outlets.
  • Bring sunscreen, it is nearly always sunny and hot.
  • Beware of pickpockets and never carry your passport/credit card unless 100% necessary.

If you take a public bus and get off in Ica, be VERY careful about what taxi you take to Huacachina. Many taxis in Ica have been known to take people to hotels that they have deals with, or try to scam tourists in other ways, so take extra care if you do have to take a taxi from Ica to Huacachina.
