Impressive tour!

The experience was cinematic, especially when we arrived at the oasis and the dune buggies. We rented the sandboard, and that was fun too. The only criticism is that we felt a bit rushed when we arrived at the oasis, and we couldn't fully enjoy the square and the artificial lake; apart from that, the tour was very impressive!

10/10 would recommend :)

I really enjoyed my daytrip from Lima with our Guide Karyme. It was really well organised and the communication was always quick and understandable. (For everyone doing the sand buggy ride - remember to bring a bandana or something to cover your mouth and nose ☺️)

We took a day tour in Lima with Karyme exploring Paracas, boat ride to see sea lions and penguins and different Islas. Visited a joyeria and rode a dune buggy and watched the sun set while we’re covered in sand. It was such an unforgettable experience. Karyme was very accommodating and made everything so easy for us. Definitely recommend!

This was an awesome and very complete tour! I had a great time with my friends. Karyme was our tour guide and she was amazing! Very sweet girl, extremely attentive and friendly. We Started the day very early but the bus was so comfortable we were able to get some rest. Upon arrival to Islas ballestas we had breakfast, it was pretty good. After that we went on the boat tour, got to see many animals. Then we had a sweets and liquor tasting in Paracas, along with a jewelry/textile store tour, both were pleasant and informative. After that it was a smooth 1 hour ride to Ica, where the pisco and wine tasting with delicious lunch was served. Boogie and sand boarding were sooo much fun! It was a great experience I highly recommend this agency!! You won't regret it:) they were very attentive and responsive. +

Don’t miss out!

Every person along the step of this journey from the bus driver to the guides to the pilot to the dune buggy driver was perfectly hand selected to give you the most fun, engaging and amazing experience. I did this tour a few days after a 4 day Machu Pichu trek. I thought the trip had would have peaked with that. I couldn’t have been more wrong. You don’t want to miss Nazca lines or the dune buggy/sandboarding in Huacachina. A must for people who love views and adrenaline rushes!

Operator response

Thank you very much for your amazing feedback. We’re truly delighted to hear that every part of your journey exceeded expectations, from our drivers and guides to the pilot and dune buggy team. It’s wonderful to know that the Nazca Lines flight and the Huacachina experience gave you such unforgettable moments, even after visiting Machu Picchu. We sincerely appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again with Inca Trilogy for another incredible adventure.
