Course + 4x4 Expedition

Course + 4x4 Expedition


Instruction guided by Felipe Prohens . Set up at the foot of the Atacama dunes where a 4x4 driving class is taught. The course considers a theoretical class on handling and tuning for this type of terrain. Knowledge acquired in a controlled circuit in the dunes is applied, to end with an expedition through the dunes.

INDUCTION AND DRIVING CLASS

We carry out induction to 4x4 driving with professional guides.


VERIFIED ROUTES

Personalized route for all levels, where we visit the main attractions of the Atacama Region, such as the dunes of Copiapó, Mar de Dunas, Puesto uno, Duna Madre, Duna La Ballena, El Medanoso, etc. We go through sectors used by the Dakar Rally and multiple dates of the World Rally Championship.

We go through sectors with mixed terrain, where we focus on driving in sand, which provides the necessary "feeling" for off-road driving. Course and expedition is carried out by the hand of specialist instructors in this type of terrain.
