Ballestas Islands and Nazca Lines Day Trip with Huacachina
From €538 per person
See availability →A Ballestas Islands and Nazca Lines day trip from Lima combines a boat ride, a flight over the geoglyphs and a stop at the Huacachina oasis in one long day.
This Ballestas Islands and Nazca Lines day trip from Lima packs the south coast of Peru into one very long day, about nineteen and a half hours from hotel pickup to the return. You leave early in the morning and drive about 300 km down the Pan-American coast road to Paracas Bay.
There a boat takes you around the Ballestas Islands, where you can spot seabirds, sea lions, dolphins and Humboldt penguins living wild. Back on land the journey continues with a flight over the Palpa desert, a view from above of the Nazca Lines, enormous figures and shapes etched in the sand.
The last stop is the Huacachina oasis, presented as the only oasis in South America. Here you choose how to spend your time:
- a stroll by the lagoon
- lunch, not included in the tour
- sandboarding on the golden dunes, as an optional extra
- a Pisco Sour while you look out over the desert
The way back to Lima follows the same road. The tour includes transport, the Nazca flight, the boat ride, a guide and hotel pickup and drop-off in Lima, but not in the airport areas. Food, drinks and airport transfers are extra. It is not suitable for pregnant women or wheelchair users.
