Sandboarding is a sport in which you go downhill the dune with a special board, like the ones used for practicing snowboarding. The most famous place in Chile for practicing this sport is the Death Valley, located at just 2 kilometers from San Pedro de Atacama.

We will go from the center of San Pedro de Atacama to the Death Valley. Once our equipment is selected (helmet, boots and board), we will reach the dune's summit to hear our instructor's class, in which he will teach us the better way to practice this sport. After the class, we will make the downhills while we watch the spectacular landscapes of the Death Valley, with its strange rock formations surrounding the dune.

*It is possible to make the activity by day or night. The day hours are available every day, while the night hour is just for Saturday.

*This activity requires a physical effort because after every descent it is necessary to walk up with the board for several meters.

*If you are interested in making this tour and the Astronomical Tour the same day, be organized with your itinerary because the end time of this activity could overlap with the start time of the Astronomical Tour. Consider leaving 45 minutes between the end of one tour and the beginning of the other.
