Detail

This full-day trip from Lima brings together three very different sides of Peru’s coast: a speedboat tour of the wildlife-rich Ballestas Islands, a wine and pisco tasting in Ica, and an afternoon of dunes at the Huacachina oasis. It is a strong pick if your days in Peru are limited and you want range – nature, culture, and desert adventure – all in one trip, without changing hotels.

It is a long, full day with an early start, and that is the point: you will be on the water before the crowds and back in Lima the same night with a lot to show for it.

Highlights

  • Cruise the Ballestas Islands by speedboat and spot sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and dolphins
  • See the mysterious Paracas Candelabra geoglyph etched into the coastal hillside
  • Taste Peruvian wine and pisco at the historic El Catador winery in Ica
  • Relax at Huacachina, the only natural desert oasis in the Americas
  • Ride a dune buggy and try sandboarding on the Ica dunes
  • Round-trip from Lima with an English-speaking guide and a central Miraflores meeting point
