From Lima: Paracas and Huacachina Oasis Full Day Guided Tour

1.Paracas and Huacachina Oasis Full Day Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,780 reviews · 18 hours · from $59Our pick

Leave Lima before sunrise for Paracas and Huacachina with a bilingual guide such as Franklin, Aymeth, Fio, or Diego. Ride a comfortable coach to Ballestas Islands, visit a pisco vineyard, then take an optional buggy and sandboarding run across Huacachina’s dunes before returning late at night.

“A day that is close to perfection to be honest. The value for money is incredible with having the boat tour into morning in Paracas finishing off with the headliner that is Huacachina. Huacachina is really a wonder in itself with the sand buggys on the dunes and sand boarding aswell with an incredible sunset. 10/10”

The bus was comfortable and although there's a lot of travelling they make multiple stops so you see so much of the Colca Valley. We were so lucky to see condors flying which was an amazing experience. The meals were excellent and the whole day was so well organised. Such great value for money. I'd highly recommend this tour!”

Start before dawn from Miraflores and spend a packed day seeing sea lions and Humboldt penguins at Ballestas, tasting pisco and wine in Ica, then riding dune buggies and sandboarding at Huacachina. Guides such as Mayor, Alvaro, and Anthony are noted for keeping the long ride lively.

“The activities in this trip were fun and very well organized, but beware, it IS a super long day (17+ hours). The day is full of activities and flies by, but the return ride home drags on forever. We were picked up at 4:30a and dropped off at 9:45p. We booked an English tour but we were the only 2 English speaking passengers out of 32 on this trip. The guide did the entire tour in Spanish and then came and gave us a shortened description in English. It wasn't ideal and made us feel isolated as it did not allow us to mingle with other passengers on this tour.…”

“At first I was a little annoyed because they texted me 8 hours before the trip started about the pick up time (after I texted them first, a day ahead) and then arrived late so I waited 45 mins. The Guide (David) was very friendly and looked out for everybody. It’s worth it’s money, just because of for the 6 hours trip and a food sample. We made some stops at the Canyon to take some pictures. The stop were we had to pay 70 soles was nothing else than the rest, besides than seeing some condors, it was such a money waste and way to expensive. We also made…”

“Machu Picchu is undoubtably worth a visit - for the nature, the history or even the personal photos. The tour planned out all the stages of getting from Cusco to Machu Picchu and back. The guide was responsive via text message in advance to confirm all the details. Our guide at Machu Picchu was great - giving a lot of history and information. The train travel was in the executive car and comes with delicious snacks and drinks while you overlook the gorgeous scenery. The only thing I wish that this tour had was a guide with you from start to finish, as it was a bit confusing how we…”

“We only had a couple hiccups with our trip, but overall it was wonderful. The driver was right on time in the morning and dropped us off at the train station. It was quite a wild ride, but we made it in record time. The train was good and our guide was waiting on the other end. We were surprised to find out that our Machu Picchu tickets were set for 8am, when we wouldn’t even arrive to Aguas Calientes on our train until 8:20, plus the 30 minute bus ride to the top. We ended up getting to the top by about 9 or so after waiting for bus…”
