FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

The dune buggy ride is a high-adrenaline activity. However, if you are traveling with small children or prefer a calmer ride, our professional drivers can take a "panoramic" route at a moderate speed, always prioritizing safety and the enjoyment of the landscape.

Yes, it is essential. Flights depend on weather conditions and have limited daily slots. By booking with Aura Andina in advance, we manage the schedule and weight requirements to secure your seat on the plane and provide full assistance at the aerodrome.

It is a 2-hour boat tour from Paracas where you will observe great biodiversity: sea lions, Humboldt penguins, pelicans, and the famous "El Candelabro" geoglyph. Tourists are not allowed to disembark on the islands to protect the ecosystem, but the view from the boat is spectacular and very close.

Yes, winery tours are family-friendly. While adults enjoy Pisco and wine tasting, children can learn about the grape process and enjoy the gardens and country-style restaurants. It is an educational and relaxing experience.

At Aura Andina, we have designed our tour to take place at the best possible time, strategically coinciding with the sunset. This allows you to enjoy the dune buggy ride and sandboarding at a pleasant temperature, avoiding the extreme midday heat, and ending the experience with a spectacular sunset over the dunes—the perfect moment for your photos.
