About this experience

Then, stand atop the wind-carved cliffs of the Paracas National Reserve, where the desert meets the sea in breathtaking contrast. On day two, buckle up for an adrenaline-filled ride through the golden dunes of Huacachina, a surreal oasis straight out of a postcard - and top it off with sandboarding thrills or an optional ATV upgrade. Let us handle the logistics - all transportation and entry fees are included so you can focus on the adventure.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lima is not rushed.
Is 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 649 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina?
+
Around 227 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lima can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Day Tour from Lima: Paracas, Ballestas Island and Huacachina start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lima within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Peruvian Cooking Class, Local Market Tour & Exotic Fruit Tasting, The Complete Lima Experience: History, Culture & Flavors, #1 Rated Lima Cooking Class: Make Ceviche, Causa & Pisco Sours!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lima?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lima?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
