Información importante

Important Weather Notice

The weather in the south is usually sunny all year round, but winds and temperature changes are common. We recommend bringing sunglasses, sunscreen, a light jacket, and extra water for the tour. During the flight over the Nazca Lines and activities in the desert, the sun can be intense even in winter. Wear comfortable clothing and protect yourself from the heat to better enjoy the experience.

This will be your experience depending on the tour of your choice

Paracas National Reserve

We set sail early along the coast of Paracas, heading for the famous Ballestas Islands, home to sea lions, penguins, and a wide variety of birds. It is a peaceful trip, but one that is full of life.

Guide's advice

Wear a light jacket as it can get cold during the morning boat ride. We also recommend a hat to protect you from the sun.

Huacachina

Oasis and adventure in the desert

If you’re looking for adrenaline and unique landscapes, this is your moment. Huacachina is a real oasis in the middle of the desert, surrounded by giant dunes where everything becomes excitement and sand.

Guide's advice

For sandboarding, wear closed-toe shoes. Beginners can slide while sitting down. Protect yourself from the sun and bring an extra bottle of water.

Visit to a vineyard

Discover the wine-growing tradition of Ica. Learn about the process of making pisco and wine as you tour historic wineries. End your experience with a tasting of artisanal products that showcase the essence of this region.

Guide's advice

Take advantage of this opportunity to purchase piscos and wines directly from the winery at special prices. They offer secure packaging for international travel.

Overflight Nazca Lines

Flying over the Nazca Lines is an experience that goes beyond tourism. It is a glimpse into one of the greatest mysteries of ancient history: figures traced on the desert more than a thousand years ago.

Guide's advice

Arrive early, have your documents ready, and make sure you have enough space on your phone or camera. Every figure deserves a good photo!
