    Itinerary

    04:00 A.M. Pick-up from hotels in the Historic Center, Miraflores, San Isidro, and Barranco. Other locations upon request.

    09:30 A.M. Our first stop will be the marina pier, where we will pass the SERNANP control and wait to board our speedboat to the Ballestas Islands. We will explore this incredible marine ecosystem for approximately two hours. We begin by stopping at the famous geoglyph known as “El Candelabro,” where the guide will explain the different theories about its origin. We then continue sailing with the ocean breeze until we reach the islands, surrounded by abundant wildlife. Sea lions, Humboldt penguins, numerous guano birds, and, if we are lucky, some curious dolphins await us. Don’t forget your camera!

    After this exciting experience, we will head to enjoy an impressive ceviche cooking demonstration, Peru’s signature dish. You will also have the opportunity to taste this delicious dish, enjoying a unique sensory experience with its vibrant and slightly spicy flavors.

    We then travel to Ica for approximately one hour to visit the winery “El Catador.” Here, we will have lunch, tour the facilities, and enjoy a tasting of local wines and piscos.

    Next, we continue to the Huacachina Oasis. Upon arrival, we will hop into dune buggies (tubulares) to ride across the vast desert dunes. We will also try sandboarding from the top of the dunes. After this adrenaline-filled adventure, you will have free time to explore the oasis, take photos, and do some last-minute shopping.

    05:00 P.M. Return journey to Lima.

    09:30 P.M. Approximate arrival at the original departure point.

    Our visit to Nazca was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Despite our very last-minute request, everything was arranged smoothly and professionally. The private transfer was comfortable, and the Nazca Lines flight with an English-speaking guide was clear and enjoyable. Our driver, Manuel, was kind, professional, and very supportive throughout the long journey, making us feel safe at all times. My wife and I truly enjoyed the entire experience and created memories we will never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable tour company in Peru.

    Our family had a great time in Peru. We took the tour - Peru in 10 Days: From the Capital to the Inca Ruins with Flight Included - and had it slightly changed. The travel agency was flexible in adjusting the itinerary. They were generous enough to give us a hotel room upgrade in Lima and a free guide on our Wayna Picchu trek. This was a truly memorable Christmas since we spent it in Wayna Picchu and Machu Picchu which was on our bucket list. All other parts of the tour were great especially Huacachina and Rainbow Mountain. The Ceviche in the class & tasting part of the tour was the best one we tried as compared to the highly rated restaurants we visited in Lima. Highly recommended! Special thanks to Yonel Simón and Rosa Roque Ccora!

    We had an amazing day with this tour, perfectly guided by Gabriel, who was incredibly friendly throughout the trip. Despite being only two non-Spanish speakers in the group, he took the time to translate everything into English, which we deeply appreciated. The day was full of wonderful surprises: from spotting incredible wildlife during the Paracas tour, to learning about the art of Pisco making during the tasting session, and finally the highlight of the day—exploring the Huacachina desert by buggy and witnessing a breathtaking sunset. We couldn’t recommend this experience more—absolutely worth it!
