Ballestas Islands & Huacachina Day Trip + Nazca Lines Flyover
Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Lima to set off to the region of Ica, located on the southern coast of Peru. Ready to embark on a unique experience that combines history, nature, and mystery?
Along the way, we'll make a stop so you can grab some breakfast. After a 3-hour journey, we'll arrive at Paracas, where we'll embark on a boat tour to explore the Ballestas Islands, an archipelago known for its rich biodiversity.
During approximately 2 hours, we'll sail among its islets and admire the local fauna. In this wild and stunning environment, you'll spot birds, sea lions, and if you're lucky, even spot Humboldt penguins!
After visiting the Ballestas Islands, we'll continue toward the Pisco Airport, where we'll go on a sightseeing flight on an aircraft over the enigmatic Nazca Lines. These impressive figures, up to 656 feet (200 meters) long, extend across the desert and can only be fully admired from above. On this about 2-hour flight, you'll be able to discover these ancient lines that still remain a mystery.
After our flight, we'll head to the Huacachina Oasis, a picturesque and unexpected site in the middle of the Peruvian Desert. Here, you'll have time to grab some lunch. Afterward, we'll venture on a 1-hour buggy tour on the dunes, where you'll go on an adrenaline-fueled sandboarding experience.
After this exciting activity, we'll begin our journey back to Lima and say our goodbyes at your hotel after this 16.5-hour day trip.
