From Lima: Ballestas, Nazca Lines & Huacachina Oasis
Start the adventure departing from Lima in the early morning. Travel around 300 km along the Pan-American Highway until reaching Paracas Bay, an important place in Peruvian history and a natural haven teeming with wildlife. Enjoy a boat tour to the Ballestas Islands, spotting a variety of seabirds, sea lions, playful dolphins, and even Humboldt penguins in their natural habitat. Continue the journey with a spectacular flight over the vast Palpa desert to admire the mysterious Nazca Lines, massive figures and shapes carved into the desert floor that have remained an enigma for centuries. Afterward, visit the picturesque Huacachina Oasis. Take some time to enjoy lunch, stroll around the lagoon, or, for the adventurous, try sandboarding on the golden dunes (additional cost). Alternatively, simply relax with a refreshing Pisco Sour while soaking in the desert views. The adventure concludes with the return to Lima via the same scenic route.
