Description
Embark on an exciting day trip from Lima to Paracas and Huacachina! See penguins, sea lions and dolphins in the Ballestas Islands, and enjoy sandboarding and dune buggy rides.
Explore the tranquil landscapes of the Peruvian countryside on a day trip from Lima to Paracas and Huacachina, complete with hotel transfers. Witness Humboldt penguins and sea lions at the Ballestas Islands, then experience the thrill of sandboarding and dune buggy rides in Huacachina.
Start with an early morning pickup from your hotel or hostel. Travel to Paracas, a charming coastal town, in a spacious luxury bus, ensuring a comfortable four-hour ride. Be the only one to enjoy such premium transportation, while others use smaller minivans.
Upon arrival in Paracas, embark on a two-hour boat tour of the Ballestas Islands, often described as a mini Galapagos. Get up close to sea lions, penguins, and various bird species in their natural habitats, and you might even spot a dolphin.
Afterward, head to Huacachina, an oasis in the Ica Desert known for its towering sand dunes. Enjoy some free time to explore and have lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense).
Next, get ready for two hours of exhilarating dune buggy rides and sandboarding. Climb the dunes in a buggy and then glide down the sandy slopes—an unforgettable experience in South America’s only natural desert oasis.
In the evening, board the bus back to Lima. Sit back and relax in comfort while watching a movie on your journey. You’ll be dropped off directly at your hotel or hostel upon your return to Lima.
