We begin early with pick-up in Lima at 4:30 a. m. and travel toward Paracas. During the drive, your guide presents the itinerary and we make a short breakfast stop (at the traveler’s expense). At 9:30 a. m. we board modern boats for the Ballestas Islands tour, wearing life jackets as we view the Candelabra geoglyph and observe marine wildlife including sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and guano seabirds. Next, we visit a winery in Ica to learn about local wine and pisco production and enjoy a tasting (with samples such as Borgoña, Mass wine, and Pisco), with free time for lunch on your own. In the afternoon, we arrive at the Huacachina Oasis to relax, walk around, and take photos—or choose optional adventure activities like dune buggies and sandboarding. We then continue to Nazca, where you’ll spend the night at the selected hotel with breakfast included.
