See availability →This Paracas, Ballestas Islands and Huacachina day trip from Lima fits the coast, a pisco winery and the dunes into one long day, with a Basic or a Complete Adventure option.
On this Paracas, Ballestas Islands and Huacachina day trip from Lima you leave the capital early and head south, ending the day among dunes. It is a long outing, around sixteen and a half hours, with a bilingual guide in English and Spanish.
In Paracas you board a speedboat for the Ballestas Islands. On the way the Candelabra geoglyph appears on the desert hillside, and around the islands you watch sea lions, Humboldt penguins and many seabirds. Afterwards the route continues to Ica, to a winery and pisco distillery where you learn how pisco is made and taste pisco and wine. The last stop is the Huacachina oasis, ringed by high dunes, where you explore and take photos.
Two options are on offer:
- Basic: Paracas, the winery and Huacachina, with time to buy lunch and wander the oasis at your own pace
- Complete Adventure: the same route plus lunch, a dune buggy ride and sandboarding in the Huacachina desert
The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off in selected parts of Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro, plus the island boat tour with its entrance tickets. Breakfast and tips are not. Babies under one year cannot join.
