Peru: Trekking the Inca Trail and Sandboarding in the Desert

Peru is a land of mysticism, towering peaks, and golden sand dunes—all stitched together with a spirit of adventure. While most travelers dream of visiting Machu Picchu, Peru offers so much more for thrill-seekers. Whether you’re trekking through ancient paths in the Andes or carving down desert dunes on a sandboard, Peru is an unforgettable destination for adventure lovers.


🏔️ The Inca Trail: A Bucket List Trek

Few experiences are as spiritually and physically rewarding as hiking the legendary Inca Trail. Spanning about 42 kilometers (26 miles), this four-day trek leads you through cloud forests, high-altitude passes, and ancient ruins, culminating at the Sun Gate overlooking Machu Picchu.

Highlights of the trek:

  • Dead Woman’s Pass: At 13,828 feet (4,215 meters), it’s the highest—and most challenging—point of the journey.
  • Inca ruins along the trail: Sites like Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, and Wiñay Wayna offer glimpses into the Incan world.
  • Stargazing: With minimal light pollution, the Andean night sky is simply spectacular.

The trail requires a permit and is best booked months in advance, especially during the dry season (May to September). If you’re looking for an alternative, the Salkantay or Lares Treks offer equally epic scenery with fewer crowds.


🏜️ Sandboarding in Huacachina: The Desert Oasis

From misty mountains to blazing deserts, Peru surprises at every turn. Nestled near the city of Ica, Huacachina is a tiny oasis surrounded by towering sand dunes that seem to rise straight out of a dream.

Sandboarding here is a must:

  • Rent a sandboard (or take a guided tour) and ride the dunes like a snowboarder in the snow.
  • For added thrill, hop on a dune buggy, strap in, and zoom across the golden landscape with a driver who treats every crest like a rollercoaster drop.

This surreal desert destination is especially magical at sunset, when the dunes turn shades of orange and crimson.


🛶 Whitewater Rafting on the Urubamba River

After dry dunes and high peaks, dive into Peru’s whitewater scene. The Urubamba River, running through the Sacred Valley, offers Class II to IV rapids—ideal for both first-timers and seasoned paddlers.

  • Paddle past terraced hillsides, waterfalls, and local farms.
  • Half-day and full-day rafting trips are available, often with expert guides providing both safety and local insights.

🦙 Cultural Adventures in the Andes

Adventure in Peru isn’t limited to physical challenges. Immersing yourself in Andean culture can be just as enriching.

  • Visit the markets of Pisac and Chinchero to see artisans weaving alpaca wool into colorful textiles.
  • Participate in a Pachamama ceremony led by a local shaman.
  • Stay in a community homestay for a firsthand look at traditional Quechua life.

These cultural experiences deepen your connection to the land—and to its people.

🍽️ Refuel Like a Local

Peruvian cuisine is world-renowned for good reason. After a long hike or an adrenaline-filled day, treat yourself to:

  • Lomo Saltado: Stir-fried beef with onions, tomatoes, and fries.
  • Ceviche: Raw fish marinated in lime juice, served with sweet potato and corn.
  • Chicha Morada: A sweet purple corn drink perfect for rehydrating.

And don’t miss a Pisco Sour, the national cocktail—especially rewarding after a summit or a successful sandboarding run.

Peru is far more than just Machu Picchu. It’s a playground for adventurers, where you can hike ancient trails, surf down dunes, raft powerful rivers, and immerse yourself in centuries-old cultures. From snow-capped peaks to sun-scorched sands, Peru is a destination that promises challenge, beauty, and discovery at every turn.
