In a single day, you can explore the Ballestas Islands, known for their wildlife similar to that of the Galapagos, observe sea lions and fur seals, and tour the Huacachina Desert by buggy while sandboarding. Don't let your short time in Lima stop you from discovering Huacachina and Paracas. Enjoy this oasis and its natural scenery on a full-day excursion that is perfect for those with limited time.

The tour begins at 5:00 am with a pick-up in Miraflores, near Larcomar, where other groups will be picked up later before embarking on this exciting adventure. Along the way, we will stop at a local artisanal bakery to enjoy a small breakfast with food and drinks. Then, we will head to Paracas, specifically to the port of El Chaco, where we will board modern boats that will take us to the Ballestas Islands. During the tour, we will be able to observe the impressive marine wildlife, including sea lions, Humboldt penguins, black cormorants known as guanays, and various species of seabirds.

Afterwards, it will be time to enjoy a delicious lunch at the NIETO winery, where you will also have the option to take a walk in the surrounding area or bring your own lunch. After lunch, we will learn about the Peruvian pisco-making process and be guided by an expert through a tasting of the different types of locally produced pisco.

We will continue our journey to the Huacachina Oasis in Ica, where you will be able to walk around the lagoon and enjoy its natural beauty. The highlight of the day will be the buggy and sandboarding activity: a 4x4 experience through the dunes of Huacachina, followed by a thrilling sandboarding descent.

Before heading back, we will make one last stop at “Racimo de Uva,” where you can buy snacks or souvenirs, such as wine, pisco, and other Peruvian products. Finally, we will make our way back to Lima, with an estimated arrival at Larcomar at around 10:00 PM.
