The wind sculpts the slopes ahead as the Polaris 4x4 rumbles to life and grains of sand hiss under rubber. You meet guides, don helmets and goggles, and push into a sunlit maze of steep faces and soft ridgelines where every crest dares you to slide. The ride alternates between throttle-driven runs across packed sand and hands-on sandboarding on looser faces — a physical conversation with the dunes.

History
The dunes are coastal sediment deposits shaped by wind and tides; the area sits opposite La Paz’s historic shoreline communities and has been used seasonally for fishing and foraging.
Conservation
Operators encourage staying on designated tracks, avoiding vegetation, and carrying out trash — the shifting dunes are ecologically sensitive and cross tidal/coastal habitats.
