Get ready bright and early with a pickup from your hotels and transfer in a luxury, air-conditioned Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi, reclining seats and an onboard restroom - a major upgrade from cramped vans. No stops along the way, so pack your favorite snacks and coffee for the scenic drive along Peru’s stunning coastline.

Board a fast speedboat and cruise out into the Pacific to explore the Ballestas Islands, famously known as “The Poor Man’s Galapagos.” Along the way, you’ll spot the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph carved into a coastal hill - a prehistoric puzzle still unsolved. As you approach the islands, prepare to be surrounded by hundreds of sea lions, Humboldt penguins, pelicans, and other exotic marine life. Your bilingual guide will explain the fragile ecosystem and local lore while you soak in the sea breeze and wildlife photography opportunities.

After returning to Paracas, continue inland to a traditional vineyard in the Ica region, the heart of Peru’s pisco industry. Enjoy a guided tour through the distillery, learn how Peru’s iconic spirit is crafted from grape to glass, and taste a variety of artisanal piscos. Your expert guide will walk you through the production process and share the history behind this beloved drink.

Next, travel to Huacachina, a surreal oasis nestled among towering dunes, the only one of its kind in South America. Hop into a dune buggy and race across the golden desert at thrilling speeds. Then, get on a sandboard and surf down the massive dunes, no experience necessary, just pure adrenaline and fun. After the adventure, unwind as you stroll through the oasis village, surrounded by palm trees and sand, a perfect place to relax and spend the night.

Enjoy a free and relaxing morning in the oasis. Whether you want to explore the dunes once more, enjoy the lagoon area, or shop for local souvenirs, this slow-paced start lets you soak in Huacachina’s desert charm before returning to Lima aboard your Peru Hop bus.

Settle in for a smooth return ride to Lima aboard your comfortable Peru Hop bus with onboard high-speed Wi-Fi - ideal for sharing your best Huacachina and vineyard photos on the way back. You’ll arrive in Miraflores around 11:45 PM. For drop-offs outside Miraflores, please allow for additional travel time.
