Sandboarding down the hills was awesome! 🏄‍♂️ ⚠️ Just be prepared - it's a marathon 19-hour day from the moment you board the bus at 4 AM until you're dropped off at 11…”

The buggy driver was equally prudent but also took us on an exhilarating roller coaster like ride. The tours and the food were excellent. Omar, at the Pisco tasting place, was entertaining.”

“Excellent experience all throughout. You start very early in the morning and start with a breakfast and then keep going on your way to Paracas. Is about a 3 hour bus ride there, definitely recommend sto sleep on the bus as the day is going to be full of activities. Miguel Angel our tour guide was very entertaining, and enthusiastic about what he does and the history of the place. The experience with the dune buggy and the sand boarding was definitely a thrill and unique. 100% recommend this tour.”
