What you can expect

Escape Lima for a full‑day adventure to Paracas and the Huacachina desert oasis. Travel in comfort on a direct morning transfer (depart 6:00 AM) to the seaside town of Paracas. Here you’ll board a 2‑hour boat tour to the Ballestas Islands – Peru’s “Mini‑Galápagos” – and get up close to sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and countless seabirds in their natural habitat.

After some free time and lunch in Paracas, continue through the Ica Desert to Huacachina, the only natural desert oasis in South America. Enjoy time to stroll around the lagoon before an adrenaline‑filled dune buggy and sandboarding experience on some of the tallest dunes in the region, perfectly timed for sunset.

Relax on the evening drive back to Lima with popcorn and film. Arrive at your original pickup point at approximately 11:45 PM. An unforgettable day of wildlife, desert landscapes, and adventure—all in one trip.
