PARACAS, ICA & HUACACHINA TOUR ITINERARY - 1 DAY
Our Paracas, Ica, and Huacachina one-day tour begins very early, with pickup from designated points in Lima, and embarks on a journey through coastal landscapes and unforgettable experiences. During the trip to the Ballestas Islands, our guide will introduce themselves and share instructions and stories that will make this journey memorable.
Along the way, we’ll stop for a revitalizing breakfast (not included), which will help energize us. Continuing our journey, we’ll arrive at the departure point for an excursion aboard modern vessels to the Ballestas Islands, one of the most impressive natural destinations on the Peruvian coast. Equipped with life jackets, we’ll sail out to sea to admire the enigmatic Paracas Candelabra, a gigantic figure traced in the sand whose origin remains a mystery.
Continuing the tour, we’ll be amazed by the incredible biodiversity of the islands: sea lions basking in the sun, Humboldt penguins, and hundreds of seabirds inhabiting this natural sanctuary. At the end of the voyage, we’ll return to Paracas Bay with hearts full of wonder. After this fantastic visit, we’ll have free time for lunch (not included) at one of the local seaside restaurants, where we can savor exquisite seafood dishes that will delight your palate.
Our adventure continues in Ica, where we’ll visit a traditional vineyard to learn firsthand about the artisanal process of wine and pisco production. We’ll stroll through the facilities and participate in a fun tasting of wines, piscos, and macerados, accompanied by the cheerful phrases characteristic of this region. Then, the Huacachina Oasis awaits us, surrounded by golden dunes and palm trees, like a fantasy landscape. Here we can relax, explore, capture unique moments, or let ourselves be enveloped by the scenery.
After our visit, we’ll return to Lima, making a special stop in Chincha, the birthplace of Afro-Peruvian music and culture. Here we’ll enjoy a vibrant Criolla music show and taste wines, macerados, and sweets, celebrating local tradition. Finally, we’ll arrive in Lima by evening (time may vary depending on traffic), with our luggage full of memories, flavors, and emotions, closing a day that will remain etched as an unforgettable experience following our visit to the Ballestas Islands and the Huacachina Oasis.
