TOUR DESCRIPTION

𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗖 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗦 & 𝗛𝗨𝗔𝗖𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗔 ❗

Travel with us in a small group, with our professional bilingual tour guide in our private and comfortable vehicle (maximum 4 people). Enjoy a whole day of pure fun with our incredible activities:

  • The Boat Trip through the Ballestas Islands or the National Reserve on ATVs /Go karts (Optional + 14 USD)
  • Wine and pisco tasting.
  • 2h buggy and sandboard /Ski tour + sunset in the middle of the desert!!

Start the trip in from Lima. We will pick you up very early from the comfort of your hotel (San Isidro, Miraflores, Barranco)

After having picked it up we will go to Paracas Bay (approx. 3 hours), along the way we will stop for breakfast (Not included) for a short time. Then we will continue our journey.

Once in Paracas we will go to the port to board the speedboat and enjoy a tour of the Ballestas Islands, famous for its marine life and its penguins, sea lions and countless birds. This tour lasts 2 hours.

OPTIONAL TOUR: If perhaps a boat ride is not your thing and you are looking for something more intense, where you have control, then you can opt for a 2-hour ATV/Go Kart ride through the Paracas National Reserve by paying an additional 14 USD. (entrance included), while the rest of the group sails through the waters of the Pacific Ocean. Here you can enjoy impressive views, you will know the famous Red Beach, The Cathedral, Yumaque Beach and the Isthmus.

This part of the desert is a protected place, where you will find many fossil remains. Driving through all this terrain requires following instructions and guidelines for its conservation. During the tour you will be accompanied by a guide who will show you the area, following and respecting the marked paths.

IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that if you choose the ATV activity you will NOT be able to take the boat ride.

After the boat/ATV tour we will go to Ica (approximately 1 hour away). Here we will visit one of the vineyards in the area, famous for the production of wine and pisco. We will taste a variety of them “Long live the party, Cheers”. We will have time for a delicious TYPICAL Peruvian lunch (Included). Follow the recommendation of our local guide (Carapulcara with Sopa Seca, Huancaina, Causa Rellena, etc.) ENJOY!

Full belly, happy heart! typical local phrase. Once satisfied and with the joy of having enjoyed a culinary experience, we will head to the oasis of Huacachina, where THE ADRENALINE AWAITS US.

Upon arrival in Huacachina we will go directly to try on the sandboard/ski equipment and boots, adjust them and then go to our meeting point (Bananas Hostel), for our last activity of the day “touring the impressive dunes of the Ica desert in a buggy.” , a once in a lifetime experience. From here we will take a short walk up the dune (8 minutes) where all the buggies are parked.

Once the tour has started, we will make a stop so you can photograph the impressive Ica desert and take many selfies. Don’t worry, you can take more photos at each top of each dune before you start the Sandboard / Ski board that we will use to slide down. You will have a professional instructor who will assist you if you do not have experience and if you do, he will teach you some tricks to do much better.

This tour is a roller coaster style tour in certain parts of the desert, combined with sandboarding / Ski activity and lasts 2 hours.

When the afternoon begins to fall and the sun sets, we will head to our chosen location to enjoy the beautiful sunset.

After an EPIC DAY without a doubt, we will return to our meeting point, here we will get ready to return to Lima. We recommend that you order something to eat (take away) before starting your adventure through the desert at our meeting place (BANANAS HOSTEL), since it will be a 4-hour return trip.

Upon our arrival in Lima, we will drop you off at your respective accommodation: Barranco, Miraflores, San Isisdro.

*CHANGES: Any changes to the tour date MUST be done before 5:00 pm (Peru time) 1 day prior to the tour.

For cancellations or changes to your tour please email booking@perubucketlist.com

VERY IMPORTANT

Ballestas Island: Be aware that the weather in Paracas (sand rain) is sometimes unpredictable. This means that if for reasons of bad weather the tour to the Ballestas Islands (offshore) could be cancelled, if this happened we would opt for a second option Bahia Blanca Tour, which is a small version of the Ballestas Islands. You will be able to appreciate the same marine species and migratory birds, the difference being that it is located close to the bay.

If there is intense bad weather on the day of the tour and we will not be able to leave by boat, we will continue with the tour to the Paracas Reserve, here you can visit: The Cathedral, the Isthmus and the famous Red Beach. This is a photography tour. Nature usually plays tricks on us; as well as very good.

Many times the weather tends to change suddenly, and many times waiting a bit made it possible for everyone to visit the Ballestas Islands. But it is not always guaranteed. We ask for your understanding, especially if you are traveling through Peru. We make these changes for your safety, most importantly.

Sunset: From our experience, the weather in Ica is usually hot almost always throughout the year. But sometimes for reasons that we do not know (rarely) it is usually a little cloudy in the city and even in the oasis. Should this happen, we ask for your understanding.

To consider

*Keep in mind that during Holy Week, National Holidays (Celebration of the Independence of Peru), Christmas and New Year. The tours: Ballestas Island and Dune buggy & sandboard have a duration of 1hr.

*Also consider that traveling during this time, it may be a bit uncomfortable due to the influx of local and foreign travelers. We may have to wait a little longer than normal.
