Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up at the meeting point that you choose during the booking process. From here, we'll head to Paracas. Are you ready? Let's go!

When we reach our destination, we'll enjoy a delicious breakfast to start the day trip with energy, and then we'll board a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands. On the way, we'll see the famous El Candelabro geoglyph.

Once on the islands, we'll enjoy the local wildlife and sail back to the pier in El Charco de Paracas. Once there, you can enjoy a tasty ceviche on your own, and we'll hop on the road for 1 hour toward Ica, where we'll visit a local winery to learn about the production of Ica wine and pisco and enjoy a tasting of different regional products. Plus, you'll have the chance to enjoy a delicious lunch on your own.

We'll continue to Ica, where we'll visit a local winery to learn about the production of Ica wine and pisco and enjoy a tasting of different regional products.

After the tasting, we'll drive for 10 minutes to the Huacachina Oasis. In this paradise, you'll have free time to stroll, shop, and take beautiful pictures.
