Description

Embark on a full day tour from Lima to the Ballestas Islands, Ica, and Huacachina. See the Candelabro, a mysterious figure etched into the sand, and spot sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and guano birds. Visit a winery and the Huacachina Oasis. Start your day with pickup from your hotel in Lima and head to the first stop of the day, Chilca, for breakfast at your own expense. Continue to the Tourist Dock in Paracas to pass the Sernamp control and wait to embark to the Ballestas Islands. Sail to the Ballestas Islands and surround yourself with abundant marine life, sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and an infinite number of guano birds. With luck, spot a curious dolphin. Stop at the figure on the sand known as The Candelabro where your guide will explain the different theories about its function. Next, travel to Ica and visit a winery to tour its facilities and have an exquisite tasting of wines and piscos from the area. Enjoy a lunch at your own expense and watch an Afro Peruvian dance and music performance on weekends. Continue to the Oasis of Huacachina and get on a buggy to travel up and down the endless dunes of Ica. Slide down the dunes on a sandboard and take photos of the oasis. After this adrenaline experience, return to Lima.
