Overview

• In Lima: The pick-up service is only carried out around Miraflores and Barranco districts. If you are staying in different areas (Airbnb send us a email), let us know at the time of booking. We will contact you and let you know where your pick up will be.

Choose between 2 bus options from Lima:

05.15 am Express Route:

Allows you to arrive earlier to Paracas, do the Ballestas Island boat tour 2hrs (included), and continue the same day with the bus to Huacachina (ideal for those short on time and for some would rather not spend 1 night in Paracas)

08:15 am Regular Route:

Direct 3hrs bus to Paracas (ideal for those who prefer not to spend at least 1 night in Paracas)

• In Paracas: Meeting point in Paracas (Paracas Explorer tour operator) Buses depart at 12:00pm (11.45am)

• In Huacachina: Meeting point is Bananas Hostel (within 80 metres of all major hostels & hotels) Buses depart at 07:00am
• In Nazca: Meeting point (Mom´s cafe) as well where we are going to do the drop-off and pick-up service will take place (next bus to Arequipa 21:30 pm) 20 min before bus leaves.
• In Arequipa: The drop off  hotel or hostel services are only carried out around the Arequipa downtown. 

Upon your arrival at the bus terminal our personal will wait you and after will take you to your Hostel/hotel. We ask you to let us know the information of your drop-off location in advance, before your departure (In Nazca).

VERY IMPORTANT:

Pick up service always start 1 hr before bus departure (check your bus departure). Be ready to at your hostel reception, we can arrive at any moment. About meeting point (20 min before)

Ballestas Island: Be aware that the weather in Paracas (sand rain) is sometimes unpredictable. This means that if for reasons of bad weather the tour to the Ballestas Islands (offshore) could be cancelled, if this happened we would opt for a second option Bahia Blanca Tour, which is a small version of the Ballestas Islands. You will be able to appreciate the same marine species and migratory birds, the difference being that it is located close to the bay.

If there is intense bad weather on the day of the tour and we will not be able to leave by boat, we will continue with the tour to the Paracas Reserve, here you can visit: The Cathedral, the Isthmus and the famous Red Beach. This is a photography tour. Nature usually plays tricks on us; as well as very good.

Many times the weather tends to change suddenly, and many times waiting a bit made it possible for everyone to visit the Ballestas Islands. But it is not always guaranteed. We ask for your understanding, especially if you are traveling through Peru. We make these changes for your safety, most importantly.

Sunset: From our experience, the weather in Ica is usually hot almost always throughout the year. But sometimes for reasons that we do not know (rarely) it is usually a little cloudy in the city and even in the oasis. Should this happen, we ask for your understanding.

To consider

*Keep in mind that during Holy Week (28 – 31 MARCH 2024 EASTER WEEKEND), National Holidays (26- 31 JULY 2024 Celebration of the Independence of Peru), Christmas and New Year. The tours: Ballestas Island and Dune buggy & sandboard have a duration of 1hr.

*Also consider that traveling during this time, it may be a bit uncomfortable due to the influx of local and foreign travelers. We may have to wait a little longer than normal.
