In just one day, you can explore the Ballestas Islands, known for their wildlife similar to that of the Galapagos, see sea lions and seals, and ride through the Huacachina Desert in a dune buggy while sandboarding. Don't let your limited time in Lima stop you from discovering Huacachina and Paracas. Enjoy this oasis and its natural views on a full-day excursion, perfect for those with limited time.

The sightseeing tour starts at 5:00 am with pickup in Miraflores, near Larcomar, where other groups will then be picked up before embarking on this exciting adventure. Along the way, we'll stop at a local artisan bakery to enjoy a small breakfast with food and drinks. We'll then head to Paracas, specifically to El Chaco Harbor, where we'll board modern boats that will take us to the Ballestas Islands. During the tour, we'll be able to admire the impressive marine wildlife, such as sea lions, Humboldt penguins, black cormorants known as guanay, and various species of seabirds.

Afterwards, it will be time to enjoy a delicious lunch at the “NIETO” winery, where you'll also have the option of strolling around the grounds or bringing your own lunch. After lunch, we'll learn about the process of making Peruvian Pisco and will be guided by an expert in a tasting of the different types of Pisco produced locally.

We'll then continue on to the Huacachina Oasis in Ica, where you can walk around the lagoon and enjoy its natural beauty. The most exciting part of the day will be the dune buggy and sandboarding activity: a 4WD experience through the dunes of Huacachina, followed by a thrilling sandboarding descent.

Before returning, we'll make a final stop at “Racimo de Uva,” where you can buy snacks or souvenirs, such as wine, pisco, and other Peruvian products. Finally, we'll make our way back to Lima, with an estimated arrival time of around 10:00 PM at Larcomar.
