450 - 20th - The sand bike

Chachalacas is famous for it’s beaches filled with huge sand dunes. Once you are on the beach you can see numerous four wheeled motors zipping away in all directions. You can hire these bikes for 400 pesos an hour and enjoy some bumpy rides on the dunes.

Though I didn’t use one but I saw this man cleaning his bike while I was enjoying my lunch in a nearby restaurant. Its huge treaded tires help it from getting stuck in soft deep sand and cruise over it with amazing speeds.
