- El Chaco - Following breakfast, the group will proceed to the pier to board a boat to the Ballestas Islands, where they will observe sea lions, seabirds, and the Candelabra geoglyph.
Important: In the event of adverse weather, access to the islands may be restricted for safety reasons. If this occurs, the Paracas National Reserve or Isla Blanca will be visited as an alternative. This decision is typically made on the day of the tour, shortly before boarding.
- Islas Ballestas - After breakfast, the group will head to the pier for an unforgettable boat trip to the Ballestas Islands. During the journey, they will sail through calm waters, observing a remarkable variety of seabirds such as pelicans, boobies, and seagulls, along with numerous colonies of sea lions resting on the rocks.
A highlight of the trip will be viewing the enigmatic Candelabra geoglyph, a mysterious symbol etched on a hillside that continues to intrigue visitors and archaeologists alike.
This unique experience combines nature, history, and breathtaking landscapes along the Peruvian coast.
- CULTURPISCO - At the conclusion of the boat trip, the group will travel to the city of Ica to visit the Cultur Pisco restaurant, where there will be free time for lunch (lunch not included in the price).
After the break, a guided tour of the renowned Cultur Pisco winery will commence, famous for producing pisco, the iconic Peruvian grape distillate. During the tour, participants can sample various types and learn about the production process, from harvest to distillation.
- Huacachina Oasis - In the afternoon, the group will transfer to the Huacachina Oasis for an adrenaline-filled adventure with buggies and a sandboarding tour. Aboard powerful, expertly driven buggies, they will explore the majestic dunes of the Iquican desert. Participants will have the chance to try sandboarding, gliding down the sandy hills in a unique adventure.
With some luck, the day will conclude with an unforgettable sunset view over the dunes, where the golden desert landscape and the oasis’s beauty can be admired in all its splendor.
- Miraflores - Finally, after enjoying all the planned activities, the group will return to their hotel or Airbnb in Lima. Please note that the tour concludes between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., so if a flight is scheduled for the same night, precautions are advised.
If the flight is between 11:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., it is recommended to book a private tour for comfort, flexibility, and punctuality in returning.
