Itinerary

Miraflores

one hour

Stop 2

4 hours

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.

Important: In case of bad weather, access to the islands may be restricted by security. If it happens, we will visit the Paracas National Reserve or Isla Blanca as an alternative. This decision is usually made the same day, shortly before boarding.
Las Islas Ballestas

2 hours Admission included

After breakfast, we will head to the pier to start a fascinating excursion to the Ballestas Islands.

During the boat trip, you will be able to admire up close an impressive variety of seabirds such as pelicans, boobies and seagulls, as well as observe colonies of sea lions in their natural environment.

Before you reach the islands, you will have the opportunity to gaze at the mysterious geoglyph of the Candelabra, carved into the side of a hill facing the sea.

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. During the tour, we can taste its different varieties and get to know the production process, from harvest to distillation.
Stop 5

3 hours Admission included

In the afternoon, we will transfer to the Huacachina Oasis to experience adrenalin-filled experience with our buggies and Sandboard tour. On board powerful buggies, expertly conducted, we will tour the imposing dunes of the Iquican desert. You will have the opportunity to practice sandboarding, sliding through the sandy hills in a unique adventure.

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.
Miraflores

4 hours

Finally, after enjoying all the scheduled activities, we will return to your hotel or Airbnb in Lima. Please note that the tour ends between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., so if you have a flight scheduled the same night, we recommend you take precautions.

In case your flight is between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., we suggest booking a private tour for comfort, flexibility and punctuality in your return.
