2-Day, 1-Night Private Paracas and Ica Tours
Discover the incredible biodiversity of Peru's Ballestas Islands before an exhilarating afternoon of sand dune gliding. Spot penguins, sea lions, and 50 other species during a two-hour boat ride around what rivals the Galapagos Islands. Get your guide's recommendations for lunch at one of the area's finest artisanal vineyards, followed by a Peruvian pisco tasting session. We'll transfer to the Huacachina oasis for a dune buggy ride and sandboarding, where we'll witness one of the best sunsets in this part of the continent.
Itinerary
We’ll pick you up from your hotel at 8:00 AM and head off in our private transportation to the “CulturPisco” vineyard in the city of Ica. Capture unique shots of our spectacular views. There’s so much to see and learn; take your time, look around, and learn all about the history and process of making pisco and the region’s typical wine from expert “Pisco Lovers.” Complement your experience with a delicious Peruvian dish, already included.
After lunch, we’ll head to your chosen hotel for check-in and a short rest. At 4:30 PM, we’ll head to the iconic “Huacachina,” an oasis in the Ica desert; one of the driest on the planet. Climb aboard the most fun dunes and plunge into the desert dunes. We’ll take you to one of the highest dunes and go sandboarding. With the adrenaline pumping, we’ll witness one of the best sunsets in Peru. After witnessing an extraordinary sunset over the Huacachina dunes, we will return to your hotel, afternoon/evening free.
After breakfast, around 10:30 a.m., we’ll head to the Paracas Peninsula and embark for the Ballestas Islands, where you’ll have the opportunity to see native wildlife, such as Humboldt penguins, pelicans, sea lions, dolphins, and much more.
You’ll also see the iconic Candelabra geoglyph, carved into the side of a mountain that’s 2,500 years old. All of this will be done on a modern, safety-compliant motorboat, accompanied by an expert guide.
Free time for lunch and return to Lima, an approximate 3-hour and 3-minute drive to your hotel.
