The first sightseeing is the “Regional Museum of Ica”, where incredible ancient artefacts that have been found at different areas of the region can be appreciated. All these ancient treasures date back to 2,000 years. This area is also important because many of the highly developed cultures (Paracas, Nazca, Ica Chincha, Wari) reigned within the area. All these cultures managed their needs and had a great self-encouragement besides the difficulties, actually this is one of the most highly recommended places by different tourist guides. After the museum we will head towards the down town to enjoy the local environment and its typical customs. In addition, you can contemplate old houses known as (casonas), the main cathedral, chapels, temples, etc. Next we will visit a famous winery, where you can try wine, the famous Peruvian drink “Pisco”, and other local specialities. Later we will move onto the Huacachina lagoon to embrace its splendid scenery, its surroundings with endless sand dunes. If you want to feel some adrenaline in the middle of nowhere, you could go on an adventure through the dunes by buggies. After all you will be taken back to your hotel.

At 06:30am, we will pick you up from your hotel and take you to Paracas (60’). At 07:30am, we will be ready to board our boat in order to visit the natural wonder of the Ballestas Islands. On the way there, soon after, we will get to the “Candelabro figure” where we are going to have a brief stop to admire and take photos. Once we get to the Ballestas, we will observe a large number of seabirds (migratory and endemics) and mammals.
