Overview

The full-day tour starts in Lima, with pickup at 5:45 am opposite the JW Marriott hotel in Miraflores. Departure is at 6:00 am on a large, comfortable bus equipped with air conditioning, USB ports, a restroom, and storage space. The bus travels to Paracas, arriving around 10:00 am for a two-hour guided boat trip around the Ballestas Islands. During the boat tour, participants can see sea lions, penguins, various birds, and sometimes dolphins in their natural habitat. After the boat trip, the tour continues to Ica for a visit to a local pisco vineyard. Here, visitors learn about the production of Peruvian pisco and have the opportunity to taste different varieties. Lunch is available nearby but is not included in the tour price. Next, the group travels to Huacachina Oasis, the only natural desert oasis in South America. Visitors have free time to explore the oasis before taking a dune buggy ride up the sand dunes and sandboarding down the slopes. This dune buggy and sandboarding activity lasts about one hour. The return trip to Miraflores begins at 7:00 pm, with arrival expected around 11:30 pm. Pickup and drop-off at the original meeting point in Miraflores are included. A bilingual professional guide accompanies the entire tour. Food, drinks, and local taxes for Paracas and Huacachina are not included.
