Paracas & Huacachina + Ballestas Islands Full Day

Description

We’ll begin this experience with an early morning departure from Lima, heading toward the southern coast of Peru. The first stop on the Paracas & Huacachina + Ballestas Islands Full-Day tour will be Paracas, where you’ll have time to enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant (not included) before continuing the adventure.

Next, you’ll walk to El Chaco pier, where you’ll go through a checkpoint before boarding a boat to the Ballestas Islands, one of the region’s top natural attractions. During the navigation, you’ll see the famous Candelabro geoglyph and admire the rich marine wildlife of the Pacific Ocean, including sea lions, guano birds, and, if you're lucky, Humboldt penguins.

In the afternoon, you’ll continue the journey to Ica, where you’ll have time for lunch (not included). From here, you may visit a winery, either a traditional one, Tacama (considered the oldest in South America), or Caravedo, depending on the selected option. Here, you’ll learn about the production process and enjoy tastings of some varieties.

The next stop will be the Huacachina Oasis, a stunning natural oasis surrounded by towering desert dunes. You'll have 1 hour of free time to enjoy the scenery. Finally, we’ll return to Lima after a day full of landscapes, culture, gastronomy, and adventure.
