Cerro Blanco hiking tour
Cerro Blanco Sandboarding & Hiking Tour – The Tallest Dune in the World
Start Time: 4:00 AM (summer) / 5:00 AM (winter)
Duration: Approximately 7 hours
Location: 14 km (9 miles) east of Nazca
Access: Dirt road, followed by a challenging hike
Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the summit of Cerro Blanco, the highest sand dune in the world, standing at over 2,070 meters (6,790 ft) above sea level. This tour combines hiking, breathtaking panoramic views, and the thrilling experience of sandboarding down the giant dune.
The day begins early — at 4:00 AM in summer and 5:00 AM in winter — to take advantage of the cooler morning hours. After a short drive to the base, you’ll start a guided hike through a scenic and demanding trail that leads to the top of the dune. Along the way, enjoy views of the Nazca Valley, surrounding mountains, and even the Pacific Ocean in the distance on a clear day.
Reaching the summit is a rewarding challenge, and once at the top, you'll have time to rest, enjoy the incredible silence of the desert, and prepare for the descent. Whether you're an experienced sandboarder or a beginner, sliding down Cerro Blanco is an exhilarating and unique experience.
