Description

Huacachina, an oasis surrounded by dunes in the middle of the desert, is located a few hours from Lima. It is the ideal place for adventures such as buggy rides and sandboarding.
5:00 - 9:30 a.m. **Departure to Paracas - Arrival to the Ballestas Islands**
We leave early from Lima to Paracas on a 4-hour trip. Arriving at the port “El Chaco”, we will board a boat to the Ballestas Islands. On the way, we will see "El Candelabro", a mysterious geoglyph 180 m long and 1.2 m deep, visible only from the sea or the air. Then, we will explore the islands, home to guano birds, Humboldt penguins, sea lions and, with luck, dolphins. The tour lasts 2 hours.

We will arrive in Ica to enjoy lunch at Finca El Catador (included). Afterwards, we will visit the Tres Esquinas winery, active since 1856, where we will learn about the artisanal process of wine and pisco, guided by an enologist. We will see traditional tools and participate in a fun tasting of piscos, wines and mistelas.

2:30 - 4:00 p.m. **Visit to Huacachina**
We will visit the Huacachina Oasis, only 5 km from downtown Ica. Here you will be able to walk, take pictures and do adventure sports like buggy and sandboarding.
