We start this amazing tour early at 4:30 am, picking up passengers from their hotels. It’s a peaceful time to start the day and get ready for a lot of fun and cool sights.
At 5:30 am, we leave Lima in a comfy tourist vehicle, heading south to the coastal town of Paracas, which is at 33 feet (10 m) above sea level. The morning light makes the ride even better, with great views as the sun rises.
Around 9:30 am, we arrive in Paracas. We’ll go straight to the docks and get on a boat to the Ballestas Islands, also at 33 feet (10 m). During the boat ride, you’ll see tons of amazing marine life, like sea lions, penguins, and different seabirds that are unique to Peru. This is a great spot to take some cool photos and just enjoy the wildlife.
At 12:30 pm, we’ll go to a local winery. Here, you can taste wines, pisco (a famous Peruvian drink), and some flavored versions like creams and macerated drinks. It’s also a good time to grab some lunch, and you can pick from different dishes that show off Peruvian flavors. Just a tip: bring cash, since costs might vary depending on what you choose.
After lunch, you’ll get some time to relax around the vineyard. This short break gives you a chance to chill out before the next big adventure.
At 3:00 pm, we arrive at Huacachina, a beautiful oasis in the middle of huge sand dunes at 1,312 feet (400 m) above sea level. Huacachina is famous for its amazing scenery. We’ll explore the oasis and visit Chocolatería Noelia, where you can try sweets made with local flavors. It’s a fun way to get a taste of the region’s culture.
Then, it’s time for some action! You’ll hop into a dune buggy for a 45-minute ride across the sandy dunes. For an extra thrill, you can try sandboarding down the dunes. It’s easy to learn and a total blast for everyone.
We’ll start heading back to Lima at 5:30 pm. By about 9:00 pm, we should arrive in the city. It’s the end of a day full of awesome views, new experiences, and plenty of adventure. This tour gives you a day to remember with tons of cool stuff packed in.
