Awesome Miraflores, Paracus, Huacachina trip - Our trip guide Andrea was great always keeping us informed of each segment of the trip. The trip itself was anazing and entertaining. The speed boat to view the Sea Lions at Paracus and Dune Buggy at Huacachina were awesome. The bus drive was comfortable. My fellow passengers were great. Paracas: Ballestas Islands Boat Tour - 2 hour boat trip out to Peru's smaller version of the Galapagos and view of Sea Lions. Huacachina: our Dune Buggy driver drove up and down sand mountain and then we went Sandboarding down the biggest dunes in South America. The Hilton Garden Inn near Kennedy Park was awesome place in Miraflores section of Lima Peru.
