What to expect
Las Islas Ballestas
2h · Admission ticket included
Begin your adventure with an unforgettable two-hour motorboat excursion to the Ballestas Islands, often called “the Galápagos of Peru.” On your way, you’ll stop briefly to see the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph — a massive figure etched into the desert hillside whose origins remain unknown. As you reach the islands, you’ll be surrounded by abundant wildlife, including Humboldt Penguins, Peruvian Pelicans, Boobies, Cormorants, and Inca Terns. Watch colonies of sea lions bask on the rocks, and if you’re visiting during birthing season, you may even spot hundreds of baby pups alongside their mothers. Keep an eye out for playful dolphins and fascinating marine life such as starfish and sunfish.
Paracas National Reserve
1h · Admission ticket included
Next, your journey continues inland to the Paracas National Reserve, a stunning protected area that combines desert landscapes, rich biodiversity, and striking coastal views. Learn about one of the world’s most productive marine ecosystems and the ancient Paracas culture that once flourished here. You’ll see flamingos in their natural habitat, explore dramatic sand dunes, and admire the contrast between golden cliffs and the deep blue of Paracas Bay — a perfect setting for breathtaking photos.
Tambo de Tacama
2h · Admission ticket included
From there, you’ll head to the Tacama Winery, one of South America’s oldest vineyards, for a delicious lunch paired with local wines. Enjoy traditional Peruvian flavors in a beautiful countryside setting surrounded by vineyards.
After lunch, take a guided tour of Tacama, where you’ll learn about the winery’s fascinating history, the process behind their award-winning wines and piscos, and the rich heritage of viticulture in Peru. You’ll have the opportunity to taste a selection of their best wines and piscos while soaking in the peaceful ambiance of the estate.
Huacachina
3h
Your adventure continues in Huacachina, Peru’s famous desert oasis — a natural lagoon surrounded by towering golden dunes. Take in the view or stroll around this picturesque spot before heading out for the next thrill.
Finally, climb aboard your dune buggy for an exhilarating ride through the desert! Feel the rush as you speed up and down massive dunes, stopping at scenic spots for photos and the chance to try sandboarding, a must-do activity in Huacachina.
