Itinerary
Your day begins with an early morning hotel pickup in Lima before traveling south aboard a comfortable luxury coach. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey as you make your way to the charming seaside town of Paracas.
Board a speedboat for an unforgettable excursion to the Ballestas Islands, home to one of Peru's richest marine ecosystems. Cruise past dramatic rock formations while spotting sea lions, Humboldt penguins, pelicans, cormorants, and a wide variety of coastal birds in their natural habitat. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of dolphins along the way.
After your boat tour, continue to a traditional pisco vineyard in the Ica region. Learn about Peru's national spirit, enjoy a tasting of locally produced pisco, and sit down for a delicious included lunch featuring one main course and one drink or fresh juice.
The adventure continues to Huacachina, South America's only natural desert oasis. Surrounded by towering golden sand dunes, this picturesque village offers the perfect setting to relax, take photos, or explore before the afternoon's main adventure. Then it's time for an adrenaline-filled dune buggy ride across some of the largest sand dunes in South America. Feel the excitement as expert drivers navigate the rolling desert before stopping for an unforgettable sandboarding experience down the giant dunes (lay on your stomach). As the sun begins to set, take in panoramic views of the desert while enjoying an exclusive sunset picnic, the perfect way to end an incredible day in one of Peru's most unique landscapes.
On the journey back to Lima, unwind aboard the coach and enjoy the comfortable ride after a day packed with unforgettable experiences. Your tour also includes complimentary seat selection and a welcome cocktail at SAHA in Lima, adding the perfect finishing touches to your adventure.
