Itinerary and highlights

Your adventure begins with pickup from your hotel, followed by a 4-hour drive to Paracas town.

We will make your first stop for breakfast.

Once in Paracas, you’ll board a 2-hour boat tour to the Ballestas Islands—often called the “mini-Galápagos.” Get up close to sea lions, penguins, and a wide variety of seabirds in their natural habitat. If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins along the way.

Enjoy a smooth one-hour journey from the Ballestas area to the Huacachina Oasis.

Next, we’ll make our way to Huacachina, a breathtaking oasis nestled in the Ica Desert and surrounded by South America’s tallest sand dunes. Enjoy some free time to stroll around, relax by the lagoon, or capture stunning photos.

Then the adventure kicks off with two hours of thrilling dune buggy rides, sandboarding, and a spectacular desert sunset.

Climb the towering dunes in a buggy and race down them on a sandboard—an unforgettable experience unique to this magical desert oasis.

After an unforgettable day full of memories, we’ll make our way back to Lima.
