The city is small; taxis or walking suffice for local needs. Short drives to Huacachina require pre-arranged transport for seamless access to the oasis.
Warm, dry weather year-round suits travel. Avoid midday heat; early morning or late afternoon is ideal for desert activities and outdoor exploration.
