Overview

Mobile ticket
We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Lima and head south along the Pan-American Highway to Paracas, where you’ll embark on a 2-hour boat tour of the Ballestas Islands. Along the way, you’ll see the mysterious “Candelabro” geoglyph etched into the desert cliffs, before cruising alongside sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and thousands of seabirds in their natural habitat.
Next, we’ll continue to Ica, where you’ll visit a vineyard. Enjoy a delicious Peruvian lunch, explore the vineyards, and take part in a fun Pisco and wine tasting, learning about Peru.
Our final stop is the breathtaking Huacachina Oasis, surrounded by towering sand dunes. Here, you’ll jump aboard a buggy for an exhilarating ride through the desert and try sandboarding down the golden slopes. Afterward, relax by the lagoon, take incredible photos, or shop for souvenirs before heading back to Lima.
An unforgettable day of adventure, culture, and nature — all in one trip!

5.00The entire tour was a great experience, lots of activities and sites to see and the food was amazing! Although the majority of the tour was in Spanish, the tour guides still tried their best to translate in English so that we would understand.
It was a great day

5.00We were very sorry to hear that we could not go to Ballestas because of our flight time, but our tour leader, Jean Paul, suggested that we had a great time with Pucu Te too. It was amazing to see penguins so close up. Afterward, sandboarding in the desert and bugging around the desert were great. Plus, Jean Paul and our driver were quite positive and we couldn’t see how time went through the day. Thank you!
Fun day trip from Lima

5.00We had a great experience working with Jean Paul to plan our tour and with Manuel on the tour. Manuel was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and was so nice and fun to talk with. Our tour got adjusted at the last minute due to the rough seas, but Jean Paul and Manuel were great at communicating the changes and ensured that we were still going to get a great experience with lifelong memories. The experience overall was great!
