To practice sandboarding all you need is a special board and the desire to slide down the dunes of a desert. The Huacachina lagoon, located five kilometers west of the city of Ica, stands as a natural oasis amidst the white sand of the desert and is an excellent place for sandboarding practice at Huacachina.
The origins of this adventure sport date back to the years 1988-1990 and recall the name of a farmer named Matías Grados Mora, who was its most enthusiastic promoter.
Initially, this practice was seen only as a fun form of entertainment, but then the first international championships were formalized, and its true fans turned it into a professional sport.
