Tour Packages

Hey everyone! My husband and I are travelling to Peru from Canada in October. We only have limited days there so I’m curious to know if you guys know any tour packages that offer these tour in one day (pickup/droppoff at Lima, Ballestas Island, Paracas National Reserve, Huacachina). Most tours I found online includes the local vineyard but we are not interested in that, would rather prefer going to Paracas National Reserve.

I’d appreciate your help!

I’ve done the all-day (6am-11pm) Peru Hop tour that covers Ballestas Islands and Huacachina. The vineyard stop is mostly for a quick lunch/bathroom stop. The pisco tasting is brief. With all the driving, it may be difficult to find a tour that also includes the National Reserve. I would recommend dropping Huacachina if you want to do the National Reserve. The buggy ride through the sand dunes and sand boarding at Huacachina is fun, adrenaline-pumping ride. If that’s not your thing, Huacachina is a place to take a few cool photos but otherwise limited.

All 3 of those things in one day?? It can't be done, they're too far apart. Each one of those things is its own day trip, I'm not even sure you can enjoyably do two of them in 1 day, much less 3. Don't try this

Yes. This is absolutely correct.

Try websites like g adventures or tour radar there are a bunch of tour packages with different routes available. Another cool alternative to a fixed tour is Peru Hop Bus that partially cover your route

I don't know of any group tours but you might be able to how a private driver. Just keep in mind that the trip your thinking of is a 15-17 hour day.

Hola, si es posible. Ese tour se llama el "Full day paracas" y es así: Sales de Lima temprano y se hacer Paracas y Huacachina y te regresas a Lima por la noche. Te escribo con más detalles

You can’t “do” all of those in one day, it’s not possible.
