Marine Nature and Desert Adventure

On the southern coast of Peru, facing the Pacific Ocean, the Ballestas Islands display a unique natural spectacle. Their rock formations, the mysterious Candelabro geoglyph, and abundant wildlife—sea lions, guano birds, and Humboldt penguins—make this destination a true natural sanctuary.

After the sea adventure, the Huacachina Oasis awaits you. Its waters surrounded by palm trees and towering sand dunes create a dreamlike landscape where you can relax or experience the adrenaline of sandboarding and dune buggy rides. The Ballestas Islands and Huacachina Oasis Tour is the perfect combination of nature and adventure.

Full Tour Itinerary

We will pick you up from your hotel in Lima very early to start our adventure south along the Pan-American Highway. Our first destination will be the coastal town of Paracas.

Upon arrival, we will board a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands, known for their impressive marine biodiversity. On the way, we will admire the mysterious Candelabro geoglyph, carved into a desert hill.

During the tour (approx. 2 hours), we will observe fascinating fauna such as sea lions, Humboldt penguins, pelicans, and other species inhabiting this unique ecosystem.

After the excursion, you will have free time to walk around the El Chaco artisanal boardwalk.

Then, we continue to the magical Huacachina Oasis, a place surrounded by gigantic dunes. Here you will have free time for lunch (not included) while enjoying the view of the lagoon.

After lunch, get ready for adrenaline! We will board sand buggies to traverse the imposing desert dunes. During the ride, you will have the opportunity to practice sandboarding, sliding down the sand for an exciting experience.

We end the day watching an incredible sunset over the desert before returning to Lima.
