After breakfast at your hotel, we start our trip to Paracas at 5:30 am. Upon arrival we transfer you to the port of Paracas to embark on a boat tour to the Ballestas Islands, three small islands full of wildlife just a few minutes off the coast.
On the trip to the islands, we will be able to see the “Candelabra”, a giant candelabra-shaped hieroglyph. When we arrive at the Ballestas Islands, we will stay on the boat while watching the frenzy of amazing animals including noisy but playful seals and sea lions, as well as a large number of seabirds, including Humboldt penguins, pelicans, curlews, Inca terns, Peruvian boobies, red-footed boobies, red-footed cormorants and guanayes.
After our tour of the islands, we continue through the Ica region and make stops at wineries and vineyards where we can taste piscos and wines, before we have lunch (not included).
We then visit the Huacachina desert oasis, where we take a buggy ride on the sand to reach a sandboarding adventure down the desert hills. At the end of this activity we head to the hotel in Ica where we spend the night.
