Itinerary

Ballestas & Huacachina
Day 1

  

Pick up from San Martin port at 07:40 am to drive towards Paracas Harbor. Here you'll board a speedboat to begin your adventure to the stunning Ballestas Island. On the way, you will stop at the Paracas Peninsula to see a stunning design of the enigmatic El Candelabro drawn on the side of a hill on the peninsula. Afterward, the speedboat will navigate towards to the Ballestas Islands, where you will see a stunning world filled with birds and sea lions. Visit up to three islands, depending on sea conditions, and explore their caves. 

Head back to the port, and break before boarding a vehicle to drive approximately one hour to go towards the city of Ica. On this portion of the tour, you will visit a vineyard to have the opportunity to taste traditional wine and Pisco, the national drink of Peru. Learn about the history and production process of Pisco in one of the bodegas before heading to Huacachina Oasis, a beautiful lagoon surrounded by palm trees and huge dunes with a spectacular view of Ica Valley and the desert. Here you will enjoy a dune buggy tour. After that, you will return to San Martin port to rejoin your ship.

We were certainly lucky to enjoy a private tour that picked us up directly from our hostel, took us to the Pisco vineyard as well as arranged a dunebuggy and sand boarding experience for us at Huacachina then returned us directly to our hostel in Paracas. Unfortunately we never received a guide who spoke English so communication was difficult. We had booked this tour specifically as it said it included an English tour guide. Our guide did try his very best and we are very appreciative of his efforts in ensuring we enjoyed ourselves.

We had a fantastic experience! Jose made sure that pickup and transfers to the Pisco airport went smoothly. It was our dream for decades to see this amazing site, and Jose helped make it a reality. Communication was always prompt, and everything was handled very professionally. Thanks so much Jose. We highly recommend you and your company. Marion and Greg from Canada

Our guide was fantastic, she was knowledgeable and her script for the whole day was well prepared and logical.

Its a lot of fun - speedboat ride, neat wildlife and then a complete counterpoint in the most barren desert you will ever see
