Description

Begin your journey early in the morning from Lima in a comfortable tourist bus. After a scenic drive along the Pacific coast, arrive in Paracas for your Ballestas Islands boat tour. Marvel at marine wildlife including sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and pelicans, while your esoteric guide reveals the symbolic meanings of these animals in ancient Peruvian cosmology. As you return, witness the mysterious Candelabro geoglyph, carved into the sand centuries ago. Instead of the usual historical explanation, your guide will share mystical interpretations, connecting it to constellations and energetic alignments. Continue to Ica to visit a local vineyard, where you’ll taste artisanal wines and Pisco, learning their ancestral significance in ceremonial rituals. Next, arrive at Huacachina Oasis, surrounded by golden dunes. Ride powerful dune buggies and try sandboarding for an exhilarating adventure. Before sunset, your esoteric guide will lead an optional short desert ritual, inspired by Andean gratitude ceremonies, to connect with the energy of the land. After this unique mix of culture, mysticism, and adrenaline, return comfortably to Lima in the evening.
