Extreme Sand Dune Running!

I have now officially been 5 times to the sand dune surrounded town of Huacachina, just a 4 hour bus ride south of Lima, Peru. As you can imagine, the typical activities of dune buggy rides, sandboarding, and strolls around the lagoon get a bit old around the 5th time. Well leave it to Bre and I to come up with new adventures in old places (well old for me).

Extreme Dune Running! (inspired by its counterpart: “Extreme River Jumping!”) It’s simple, you just run as fast as you can and you don’t look back! (a great philosophy when traveling).

Enjoy a few of our antics on the dunes:

Here I go:

And where would we be without an official video for youtube:

I have to admit this, it’s actually really fun to do and exhilarating. Also, not to mention a workout! Next time you find yourself on some dunes, give it a shot. Who knows what my next visit to this crazy “town” entails…
