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.
After returning to Paracas, you’ll head back to the restaurant to enjoy ceviche, one of the most iconic dishes in Peruvian cuisine.
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.
Important notes
- Pickup is available only in San Isidro, Barranco, and Miraflores. If you're staying elsewhere, we’ll arrange a nearby meeting point in advance.
- The ceviche-making class is available only to guests who have breakfast at the restaurant offering the experience. If you choose not to have breakfast, you will not be able to participate in the class and will have free time instead.
