The day opens on the Pan-American Highway with the ocean on one side and the desert on the other; by mid-morning the wind off the Pacific is salt-bright and the dunes ahead already dare you to race them.
moderate.
16–18 hours (full-day).
Moderate—able to handle short active bursts like sandboarding, climbing dunes and boarding a boat.
The full excursion is essentially a full day—transport takes roughly 3.5 hours each way to Paracas, plus activities, totaling about 16–18 hours.
The itinerary includes a roughly 2-hour boat tour around the Ballestas Islands and a view of the Candelabro; check if entrance fees are included in your booking.
No—basic sandboarding uses a standing board and brief practice; guides typically give instruction and dune runs are tailored to ability levels.
Children under 5 are not recommended; the day is long and some activities (boat, high-speed buggies) aren’t suitable for very young kids.
The Candelabro geoglyph predates modern maps and is linked to ancient coastal cultures; the Ica valley’s vineyards trace back to Spanish colonial-era plantings.
Ballestas wildlife is vulnerable to fishing pressure and oil spills—stay on designated boat lanes, avoid feeding animals and support operators who follow wildlife viewing guidelines.
