Itinerary
We will pick you up from your chosen accommodation, or if you are staying in an Airbnb, you can meet us at a hotel close to your apartment or choose our central meeting point. Board your Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi and settle into luxury semi-bed seats for a comfortable journey to Paracas.
You will arrive in Paracas around 9:30 am, where you will have time to get some quick snacks before going to the port to board the boat for the tour to the Ballestas Islands.
Take a speedboat out to the Ballestas Islands to see penguins and sea lions in their natural habitat. – Paracas
You will depart from Paracas to a traditional Pisco vineyard, where you will learn how Peruvian pisco is produced and taste the different varieties made on-site. You will also have free time here to enjoy lunch (not included). After your visit, reboard your Peru Hop bus to Huacachina.
An exclusive 2 hour tour (most companies only offer 1 hour) where you can ride up the huge sand dunes on an amazing Dune Buggy, and then sandboard down! We recommend lying face down on the board as its easier and much more fun! This will be an incredible experience and a lot of people say that this is their favorite thing to do in Peru after Machu Picchu!
Once your dune buggy adventure is finished, you have time to grab some dinner before heading back to Lima. Settle in aboard your comfortable Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi, luxury semi-bed reclining seats, and an onboard restroom (we’re the only tour company with restrooms on board). We’ll put on classic movies like Mrs. Doubtfire and hand out free popcorn for a fun ride back to the city. You will arrive back to Lima around 11:30 pm and we will drop you off at your accommodation.

Amazing day! One of the most organized tours I have ever been on and communication was fast and efficient even leading up to tour day. Yeli our guide was wonderful and truly lovely the whole day. All the stops were great and Huacachina was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! One downside I recommend they update! The tour was listed as 16hrs when I booked, but from pickup to drop off it’s more like 19/20 hrs even without traffic. I think they need to update this so people can be aware/prepared.
Had an amazing time and took some amazing photos. Always nice to have a full day event without having to plan a thing. They pickup and dropped off, food was decent. But the experience was amazing. Anayeli was a great guide
Great day with this group, I recommend.
Yeli was my tour guide, and she made the experience even more enjoyable. What I loved most about her was that she's bilingual, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about her job. She was friendly, professional, and ensured everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent tour guide.
Everything is so perfect and anayeli is the best!!!!!
This was hands-down one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had. All of our guides were absolutely incredible! My friend broke her foot the day before our trip to Peru, and we thought she wouldn’t be able to do much; Peru Hop and our amazing guide Yeli proved us wrong!!! Yeli made sure our experience was accommodating and safe. Best day ever!!!!! Love from 🇨🇦
Really fun day! Dune buggies were amazing and Yelli was a great guide
Amazing experience. Our guide, anayeli, was fantastic. She made the trip so special by sharing history with us, an amazing sunset toast, snacks on the bus, and so much more. The tour itself was incredible as well. Such a great deal for what you’re getting! Bus was so comfortable. Im in a boot and crutches and was still able to have a fantastic time.
Very good tour, only a little bit long day. Overall good guide and nice experience to take home!
It was awesome! Best value for money I've probably ever spent! Sergio, the guide, was amazing, and we had so much fun together!
