All-in-one day trip from Lima to Paracas, Ica and Huacachina with wildlife boat ride, pisco tastings, and buggy plus sandboarding.
“Sadly this is my first one star rating on Viator, and it is not because of the excursions themselves (which were absolutely spectacular). The rating is a reflection of the fact that our “English speaking tour guide” did not speak English. He did not understand words such as “toliet/bathroom” and “water.” This made it impossible…”
