Description
After your early morning collection, make a stop at an artisanal bakery to grab something for the road. Arrive in Paracas and head to El Chaco port, located in the Bay of Paracas. From here, sail to the Islas Ballestas in a modern boat and take in the beautiful view of the islands.
As you sail, keep an eye out for marine wildlife, such as sea lions, Humboldt penguins, black cormorants called guanays, and different types of marine birds. Then, it's time to eat. Visit a winery called 'NIETO' and dine in the restaurant inside.
After lunch, it's tasting time. Here, learn how to make the Peruvian pisco with a guide. Then, test your knowledge and taste the different types of pisco produced locally.
Continue to Ica (Huacachina) and feel the peacefulness as you walk around the scenic lake.
Then, get your adrenaline flowing on a dune buggy and sandboarding tour in Huacachina. Begin with a thrilling 4WD ride through the dunes with an experienced driver.

Finally, begin the return journey. Make one last stop on the road at “Racimo de Uva,' where you can pick up some snacks or souvenir gifts, including wine, pisco, Peruvian drinks, and traditional cookies.
