The experience

A full-day trip south to the Paracas coastline and the desert oasis of Huacachina, ending with a sunset toast.

The day covers Paracas, a protected coastal reserve known for its wildlife and dramatic desert-meets-ocean scenery, before continuing to Huacachina, a natural oasis lagoon ringed by towering sand dunes a few hours south of Lima.

The premium format includes skip-the-line access at each stop and a sunset toast overlooking the dunes, closing out the day with the golden light the oasis is most photographed for.
