Description
A once in a lifetime Day Trip from Lima to Paracas and Huacachina Oasis with Peru Hop, the Most Highly Reviewed Company in Peru. Our huge luxury buses are almost double the size of any other company offering this tour and we are the only company offering free high speed Wi-Fi, which is hugely important for the long journey to and from Lima.
Your adventure begins with an early-morning pickup from your hostel or hotel. From here, travel to Paracas, a beautiful small town by the sea, on a spacious bus where you'll be able to relax for the 4-hour ride. We are the ONLY company that offers luxury buses for the long journey, others use small minivans.
Once in Paracas, begin a 2-hour boat tour of the Ballestas Islands, a smaller version of the Galapagos. Spot sea lions, penguins, and plenty of birds up close and all in their natural habitats. You may even get the chance to see a dolphin or two.
Around lunchtime, it's time to move on from Paracas to Huacachina, a natural oasis located in the Ica Desert, home to the biggest sand dunes in South America. Enjoy some free time here.
Explore and have lunch (at your own expense) in one of the local restaurants around the oasis. Following lunch, it will be time for 2 hours of exhilarating dune buggy rides, sandboarding, and one of the most beautiful sunsets.
Dune buggy up the sand dunes and sandboard down these giant hills of sand, a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the only natural desert oasis in South America.
In the evening, board your bus back to Lima. Once onboard, sit back and relax on the comfortable seats while you enjoy a movie on board with some popcorn. You will later be dropped off directly at your hotel/hostel upon arrival in Lima.
