Huacachina was amazing! The oasis and the dunes were breathtaking. Definitely go for the 2 hour buggy ride. Paracas island was nice but my group felt super sea sick during the boat ride. Long day but definitely worth it! Thank you Angyal and Christian for guiding us!

Angie and Christian were Amazing! The whole day was amazing. It's a long day, but Angie made it feel so effortless. Christian was an amazing driver. The 2 hour option add on is a must! Overall a perfect day to experience outside of Lima.

Long day but so worth it! Highlight is definitely the dunebuggy in Huacachina. The amount of sand accumulated in my shoes was insane 😅 but holy the views were jaw dropping. Jossy our guide was the cutest, she’s funny and very organized. She let us know all the insights and info needed. Luis our driver was amazing also!

Sol was a wonderful guide, all the activities were fun, I really enjoyed this day! Make sure to bring a jacket for the boat part because it goes really fast and it's windy!

Sol was a fun, interactive and informative guide. The thrill of the day was fantastic. A highlight being the sand buggy’s. Bus ride was long, however comfortable and felt incredibly at ease and safe throughout the day.
