Highlights of the day: Incredible adrenaline in Buggies

Departure from Lima and stop at artisan bakery

Sunrise and aromas that awaken the day...

Very early, between 04:00 and 05:00 a.m., our team will stop by your hotel in Lima. As we leave the city behind, the sunrise illuminates the south coast and our guide begins to tell you stories of the sea, desert, and ancient secrets. Before continuing, we will take a break at an artisan bakery: there, the aroma of freshly baked bread and hot coffee will welcome you to the adventure (optional breakfast).

Ballestas Islands: marine fauna and the enigma of the Candelabra

Encounters with marine fauna and mysterious geoglyphs...

Our first great experience will be sailing around the Ballestas Islands, famous for their biodiversity. Aboard speedboats, we'll spot sea lions resting on the rocks, Humboldt penguins frolicking and an impressive array of guano birds. During the tour, we will also admire the mysterious Paracas Candelabra, a huge geoglyph whose history still arouses theories and curiosity among travelers from all over the world.

Wine and pisco winery: tradition and flavour

Traditional flavors of wine and pisco with a taste of Peruvian culture...
