What you can expect

It is the most impressive tour for a full day from Lima, from the departure the road is spectacular where you can see the beaches south of Lima and take you to the coastal town of Paracas and climb aboard a motorboat. The adventure begins as you ride the waves to the Ballestas Islands in the Paracas National Reserve.

Upon arrival, observe native marine species such as birds, penguins and sea lions in their natural habitat. Your guide will provide you with information and the animals' environment while capturing the scenery on camera.

Continue to Huacachina, a remote oasis in the Ica desert and home to the largest sand dunes in South America. Tour the dunes by buggy and try your hand at sandboarding. With your powerful buggy to help you reach the top of the dunes, you will save energy for sandboarding.
