My suggestion

I strongly recommend going for a trip in a beach buggy, which will also give you the chance to do a spot of sand surfing! It's the perfect kind of activity for thrill seekers.

If you are looking for really authentic spots during your trip to Peru, then a few hours will be enough here. It's likely you'll quickly get tired of the "gringo" atmosphere.
