After breakfast, we will head to the pier to board a boat to the Ballestas Islands, where we will observe sea lions, seabirds and the geoglyph of the Candelabra.

At the end of the boat trip, we will head towards the city of Ica to visit the restaurant Cultur Pisco, where we will have free time for lunch (lunch not included in the price). After the break, we will start a guided tour of the renowned winery Cultur Pisco, famous for the elaboration of pisco, the emblematic distillate of Peruvian grapes.

With a little luck, we will finish the day with an unforgettable view of the sunset on the dunes, from where you can admire the golden landscape of the desert and the beauty of the oasis in all its glory.
