Itinerary and highlights
After the pickup at your hotel or the meeting point. We will drive along the coast to Paracas, a small seaside town known for its nature and marine life. There, we’ll take a boat tour to the Ballestas Islands, often called the “small Galápagos” because of the sea lions, birds, and other wildlife you can see.
And of course, we’ll also enjoy some delicious chocolate and traditional sweet treats!
Afterwards, we head to Ica, where the desert meets vineyards. You’ll visit a local winery to see how Pisco, Peru’s famous spirit, is made, and of course, you’ll get to try some along with local wines.
During this time you will be free to have lunch in the area.
The next stop is Huacachina, a desert oasis surrounded by giant sand dunes. You’ll have free time to walk around, relax by the lagoon, or, if you like, join an optional dune buggy ride or sandboarding session. It’s fun and safe for all levels.
After that, we’ll head to Chincha for about 45 minutes to enjoy another wine tasting, and then we’ll go straight back to Lima and drop you off at your hotel.
