Overview

Unique Desert Oasis in Huacachina Ica, Mini Galapagos in Paracas, and much, much more! The ONLY company with luxury buses, all others use small cramped minivans even though a lot of time is spent on the road!

Pickup at your hotel in Lima, sit back and relax in our comfortable luxury buses to Paracas, where you’ll embark on a boat tour of the Ballestas Islands, regularly compared to the Galapagos Islands, to see colonies of sea lions and seals. Then, explore Huacachina desert oasis in a dune buggy and go sandboarding down the incredible dunes.

We are the most reviewed company in Peru and guarantee an incredible day out, with the highest safety standards and the best buses in Peru. AVOID MINIVANS...ask companies for photos of their minivans and you will see what we mean!
