Ica is a destination of sun, adventure, and tradition in southern Peru. Its tours take you to the Ballestas Islands to admire marine wildlife, to vineyards and wineries to taste Pisco, and to the Huacachina Oasis to experience the thrill of the dunes, as well as the mystery of the Nazca Lines. Culture, landscapes, and fun all in one place.
Discover the Ballestas Islands and Huacachina Oasis in a single tour. Sail past marine wildlife and the famous Candelabro geoglyph, then experience a desert adventure with dune buggies and sandboarding in a unique oasis.
The tour begins in Paracas with a boat trip to the Ballestas Islands, where you can admire the Candelabro, sea lions, penguins, and seabirds in their natural habitat. The journey continues to Ica to visit the famous Huacachina Oasis, a lagoon surrounded by dunes and palm trees, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
The experience ends with a thrilling dune buggy ride across the desert and the chance to go sandboarding, enjoying an adventure full of excitement before returning.
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.
