Huacachina and Dune Buggy Tour from Paracas with Winery
From €81 per person
See availability →A Huacachina and dune buggy tour from Paracas with hotel pickup, a visit to an artisanal winery with tasting, and a shared one-hour buggy ride with sandboarding.
This Huacachina and dune buggy tour from Paracas swaps a day of coast for a day of desert. An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up at your hotel in Paracas and heads towards Ica, the scenery changing from sea to sand as you go.
The first stop is an artisanal winery that still makes wine and pisco in the traditional way. Its own specialist guides lead a shared visit in English and Spanish. You follow the path from grape to wine and pisco, then taste a selection of the products made there.
Next you reach Huacachina, an oasis framed by palm trees and enormous golden dunes. Then comes the main event: an hour in a shared 10-seat dune buggy, climbing and dropping over some of the largest dunes of the Ica desert. The buggy also pauses at chosen dunes for sandboarding, which is included; the driver gives a few pointers and you slide down at your own speed.
You get some time around the oasis before the ride back to your Paracas hotel. Food, drinks, admission tickets and tips are not included. Pregnant women and wheelchair users cannot take part.
