Overview

Visit one of the most secluded yet most visited beaches in southern Peru. From there, you’ll discover a true natural oasis, not even locals know about it. You can swim (in a REAL OASIS), kayak, paddleboard or simply soak in the serenity of this magical and unique natural environment.

To cap it all off, enjoy an epic happy hour in the middle of the desert. Picture plush cushions, flickering lanterns, and a private picnic, all surrounded by endless golden sand. And when the night comes, dance and party under the stars. This experience is unique and unforgettable!

The next day, you can visit the Ballestas Islands, known for their rich wildlife. After that, it’s off to a local winery, where you'll get to taste some Peruvian wine and Pisco!

In the afternoon, you’ll visit Huacachina, a beautiful desert oasis surrounded by massive sand dunes. Hop into a dune buggy for an exciting ride and try sandboarding down the dunes. It’ll be the perfect way to wrap up your weekend before returning!
