Not Included

• Meals: Breakfast and dinner are not included (Lunch on Day 2 is included).
• Tour Guide: The driver provides transport; guides are specific to each site (boat, winery). A full-time guide from Lima can be added for an extra fee.
• ‍Gratuities: Tips for guides and driver.

Recommendations

• Hotel Choice: We strongly recommend adding the hotel booking with us. For luxury, the Hotel Paracas, a Luxury Collection Resort is unbeatable. for a charming boutique option, La Hacienda Bahia Paracas is excellent.
• Packing: Bring layers. Paracas is windy (windbreaker needed), while Ica/Huacachina is hot and dry (shorts/t-shirt). Don't forget swimwear for your hotel pool!
• Motion Sickness: The boat ride can be choppy. If you are sensitive, take medication 30 minutes before boarding.
• ‍Sandboarding Shoes: Wear closed-toe sneakers for the dunes. Sand gets hot, and you don't want to lose a flip-flop!

Clearing Your Doubts

Can we customize the start time?

Yes, since it's a private tour, we can adjust the departure from Lima. However, we recommend leaving by 6:00-7:00 AM to maximize your time in Paracas on Day 1.

Is the dune buggy ride safe for children?

Yes, but it can be bumpy. Drivers can adjust the speed if you request a "slow and scenic" ride instead of a "rollercoaster" experience. It is not recommended for very young children (under 4) or pregnant women.

Why isn't a full-time guide included?

To keep the cost reasonable and give you more privacy during the drives. You have specialized guides at the main sites (Islands, Winery). Your driver is professional and helpful with logistics. If you want a history expert with you 24/7, we can add a private guide for a supplement.

What if we want to stay in Huacachina instead of Paracas?

That's possible! We can adjust the itinerary to overnight in Ica/Huacachina. However, Paracas generally offers higher-quality hotel options near the ocean.
