Lima - Paracas

Miraflores - The adventure begins early with a convenient door-to-door pickup from your accommodation in Miraflores, Barranco, or San Isidro. Travel in comfort aboard a Peru Hop bus, renowned for its safety and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, ideal for staying connected or sharing your journey in real-time.

As you travel south along the Pan-American Highway, watch as Lima’s urban landscape transitions into expansive coastal desert vistas. Your guide will confirm the pickup time the day before via Viator chat.

Mirasur Restaurante KM 88 - Mid-morning, enjoy a stop at Mirasur, a delightful bakery and rest area just off the highway. Famous for its freshly baked bread from adobe ovens, this is an opportunity to savor a rustic breakfast like the locals. Try the pan con chicharrón (pork belly sandwich) or sweet tamales with coffee while observing the bakers at work.

Hacienda San José - Explore Peru’s rich colonial history at Hacienda San José, a beautifully maintained 17th-century estate now a boutique hotel. Once a vast plantation worked by enslaved Africans, you’ll tour the main house and explore the secret underground tunnels—a remarkable 17-kilometer network used to smuggle enslaved people inland. Your guide will share compelling stories that illuminate the origins of Afro-Peruvian culture, music, and identity. A must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Paracas - After a morning filled with culture and cuisine, arrive in Paracas, a tranquil fishing town and gateway to the Pacific coast’s natural wonders. Spend your free afternoon strolling the waterfront malecón, enjoying a pisco sour by the beach, or sampling fresh ceviche at one of the harborfront eateries.
For more exploration, ask your guide about optional add-ons like the Golden Shadow Trek or a walk along the reserve’s red-sand beaches.

Paracas - Huacachina

Islas Ballestas - At 8:00 am, embark on a speedboat ride across the Pacific to the renowned Ballestas Islands, often referred to as “Peru’s Galápagos.” Keep your camera ready as you navigate the waves—these rocky islets are brimming with wildlife.
Spot Humboldt penguins, sea lions, pelicans, and thousands of nesting seabirds. Along the way, view the massive and enigmatic Candelabra geoglyph carved into the cliffside—an ancient symbol that has intrigued archaeologists for generations.

Paracas National Reserve - From 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, explore one of South America’s largest coastal protected areas—the Paracas National Reserve. Here, the stark desert meets the deep blue Pacific in a stunning blend of colors and textures.
Visit panoramic viewpoints such as La Catedral (The Cathedral rock formation), the breathtaking Playa Roja (Red Beach), and sunlit salt flats. You can upgrade to a quad biking tour through the reserve—ask your guide on the day of the tour!

Huacachina - From 04:30 pm to 06:30 pm, arrive in Huacachina, South America’s only natural desert oasis. Surrounded by palm trees and golden dunes, this surreal village is like a dream.
Hop into a high-powered dune buggy for an exhilarating ride up and down the towering dunes—some as tall as a 10-story building. After the adrenaline rush, grab a board and sandboard down the slopes, whether sitting or standing.
As the sun sets over the sand, the entire landscape glows gold—perfect for unforgettable photos. Spend the night in Huacachina. Explore the oasis after dark with a cold drink, dinner by the lagoon, or simply relax under a blanket of desert stars.

Huacachina - Nazca

Pisco Nietto - Begin your day at Pisco Nietto, one of the oldest artisanal vineyards in the Ica Valley and a proud producer of Peru’s national spirit: Pisco. During this guided visit, discover the traditional production process—from grape harvesting and fermentation to copper-pot distillation and bottling.
Wander the rustic grape fields, see antique distillery tools, and breathe in the sweet scent of fermenting fruit.

After the tour, enjoy a generous tasting session featuring a variety of Piscos, including infused and aged selections. Don’t forget to try Pisco crema, a sweet local favorite.
Relax in the vineyard’s shaded garden café and enjoy an optional lunch, with dishes like wood-fired chicken or local carapulcra with sopa seca.

Nasca Lines - Following the vineyard visit, journey deeper into the desert toward Nazca, the legendary land of ancient geoglyphs. Along the way, your guide will stop at a roadside viewing tower, where you’ll get a free glimpse of three iconic Nazca Lines—commonly the Hands, Tree, and Lizard figures.

Nazca - Lima

Nasca Lines - At 11:00 am, prepare for one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life—a scenic flight over the world-famous Nazca Lines. Buckle in and soar above the desert where over a dozen massive geoglyphs come into view: the Monkey, Hummingbird, Condor, Astronaut, Tree, and more.
Each shape spans hundreds of feet and can only be fully appreciated from the air—this perspective makes their scale, precision, and mystery truly awe-inspiring.

Cantalloc Aqueduct - After landing, continue your journey back in time with a visit to the Cantalloc Aqueducts—a marvel of pre-Inca hydraulic engineering. Built over 2,000 years ago by the Nazca Culture, these spiral-shaped underground channels carried fresh water from the Andes across the arid valley, sustaining agriculture in one of the driest places on Earth.
Walk along the still-functioning system, descend into one of the spirals, and learn how these structures used stone, gravity, and airflow to bring life to the desert—a rare and humbling encounter with ancient ingenuity.

Nazca - At 03:00 pm, board your comfortable Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi—perfect for catching up on messages or posting your best photos from the trip. Travel back through the Ica desert toward Huacachina, where you’ll enjoy a brief stop to stretch your legs or grab a snack before continuing on to Lima.

Huacachina - At 7:00 pm, take the Peru Hop bus back to Lima. Lean back, relax, and reflect on four incredible days of travel—from the wild sea cliffs of Paracas to the mystic lines of Nazca. Arrive in Lima in the late evening, where you’ll be dropped off directly at your hotel or hostel.
