Huacachina’s dunes turn golden at sunset, and this evening makes the most of it with a mix of adrenaline and serious indulgence. It kicks off with a thrilling buggy ride whipping up and down the sand, followed by sandboarding runs down the slopes until the light turns perfect. From a panoramic viewpoint you watch the sun melt into the desert with drinks in hand. Back at a beautifully set private camp – tents, rugs, cushions, torches flickering everywhere – a private chef serves starters like potato cocktails, cheesy tequeños and meat empanadas. Toast with wine (unlimited drinks all night), then dig into BBQ tenderloin, chorizo, golden potatoes and grilled veggies under the stars. The night winds down around the campfire before the buggy drops you back around 9 PM. Wild fun, stunning views and food that feels like a proper celebration in the middle of nowhere.
