In the early morning, you will be picked up at your hotel and brought to the bus terminal in Lima. In a comfortable bus, you will drive south until you reach the provincial town of Ica after approximately 4 hours. From here you will be brought to the hotel, which is situated in the nearby oasis, Huacachina. The afternoon is at your disposal. We recommend a spectacular buggy tour through the endless sea of dunes.

Day 2: Huacachina – Ballestas – Paracas

After breakfast, you start with a boat trip to the Ballestas Islands (1.5 hours). Tens of thousands of seabirds nest on the uniquely formed rocks, including pelicans and blue-footed boobies – however, the main attraction is the cute sea lions. If we are lucky, we may also see penguins and dolphins laying on the cliffs in the sun or splashing about in the cool water. Upon returning to shore, we will go on to the nature reserve area of Paracas.
