48 Hours in Peru’s Desert Oasis (Absolute Chaos in Huacachina)

We took on Huacachina, Peru’s legendary desert oasis — and it nearly broke us. From battling brutal sandstorms to screaming through dune buggy drops, this was one of the wildest travel experiences we’ve ever had. 🌪️🏜️

In this video, we hike massive dunes, eat sand (literally), and try to survive sandboarding in 30°C heat. We also explore why Huacachina is South America’s only natural desert oasis and dive into the chaos of dune buggying at sunset. It’s sandy, sweaty, and absolutely unforgettable.

Whether you're planning a trip to Peru or just love travel chaos, this is your ultimate guide to Huacachina’s thrills, fails, and epic views.
