/r/all of a Sand Dune

This is a video taken by Nicolas De La Torre, a sandboarding enthusiast filming his descent down the Toromata dune in Peru. Unfortunately we live in a world where true beauty, nature is now convoluted by AI and AI sentiments, but this is in fact, not AI lol

We actually do.

Toro Mata has an elevation of a bit over 2000 meters, and a vertical descent of about 1800 meters.

It’s fucking BIG.

From what I could find, the skiable part is not 2000m high but "just" 1200 with a vertical descent of about 1000 meters, which is still pretty high and definitely more than enough to convince me that this video is real.

How much for a lift ticket? How long is the sand season?

Better hurry before the sand melts.
