A lot of activities squeezed into one day - Overall it was great to see and experience things outside of Lima. There was no language issue but I felt that communication could've been better. The dune buggy experience was why I didn't rate it a 5. It was fun driving around and over the dunes, but on the way back the driver was extra wild trying to beat the other vehicles. I don't think it was dangerous but it three bumps were quite a bit. Then he just left us at the top of a hill and we didn't know we had to walk back to the town... in sand... in ski boots.... carrying all the equipment. Advice, don't bother renting the skis or snowboard. Not worth it.

badly organized and lack of information - i booked this tour 2 days before going, there wasnt any information shared prior to the tour, making me very confused. i sent the message directly to the company to whatsapp but no replies. this got worst when our tour started late and i had to stand on the street waiting for sooo long early in the morning. the boat tour in Paracas had very little info. we saw quite a few animals but not knowing anything more. in Huacachina, our seatbelts didnt work properly which scared me to death, having on the rocky ride thru the desert. at the end, we were asked to leave a nice review but 2 star is thr best i could do given what happened (supposed to be one)
