What you can expect
Discover three of the most impressive experiences on the Peruvian coast in a single day. We start between 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. with pick-up from your accommodation in Ica to head towards Paracas on a journey of approximately 1 hour.
Upon arrival, we'll set sail for the famous Ballestas Islands on a speedboat tour where you'll get a close-up look at the incredible marine fauna of the Pacific. During the trip, you'll see the mysterious Candelabro, a huge geoglyph located facing the sea, as well as natural rock formations, colonies of sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and a wide variety of guano birds in their natural habitat.
At the end of the sea tour, you'll have free time for breakfast before continuing to the Paracas National Reserve, one of the most important natural landscapes in Peru. During the tour, you'll visit the Flamencos vantage point, the famous Red Beach vantage point, renowned for the unique colour of its sand, and La Mina Beach, where you'll have time to enjoy the sea and relax. We will then continue to Playa Lagunillas, where you will have some free time to have lunch at your own expense and try the local seafood cuisine.
In the afternoon, we'll return to Ica for one last adventure in Huacachina, the famous desert oasis. Here, you'll climb aboard the thrilling buggies to ride over the huge dunes and enjoy spectacular views of the desert landscape. A perfect combination of nature, sea, and adrenaline that will let you see the best of Paracas and Ica in a single day.
