    excellent experience

    Inca Trilogy organized a private tour for us from Lima to go to the Ballestas Islands, Huacachina, and Nazca. They were able to adapt very well to our schedules; Diego was our sales representative, who advised us from the first moment and was in contact with us at all times. Aurelio was our driver; he picked us up promptly at the airport and explained many things to us on the way. Maribel was our guide and made everything very easy. We definitely recommend Inca Trilogy!

    Response from the operator: Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaron de su experiencia con Inca Trilogy Tours. Fue un placer acompañarlos en este recorrido por las Islas Ballestas, Huacachina y Nazca. Agradecemos especialmente sus palabras sobre Diego, Aurelio y Maribel. Nos alegra saber que la asesoría, puntualidad, atención y acompañamiento de todo el equipo hicieron que el viaje fuera cómodo y sencillo para ustedes. Nos esforzamos por adaptar cada experiencia a las necesidades de nuestros viajeros, por lo que nos complace saber que pudimos ajustarnos a sus horarios y acompañarlos en cada etapa del recorrido. Será un placer volver a recibirlos y acompañarlos en una próxima aventura por el Perú.

    Very fun - Thanks Oswaldo and Frendy

    Excellent tour. It is a very good idea because Nazca is not that close to Lima. The first day our guide was Oswaldo, who is very fun. He accompanied us the whole time and was very attentive to us. The second day it was Frendy, who is very warm, she guided us on how to be able to see the lines without getting dizzy and took great care of us. Thanks to both of you for the excellent work.

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.

    How does 2 Day Tour Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca compare to similar tours in Lima?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Lima, with an Outty Ranking of 69. At $450 it sits above the typical similar option ($85), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and couples.

    Who is 2 Day Tour Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca best for?

    +

    It suits families and couples best, based on its 48-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is 2 Day Tour Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $450, above the $85 typical for similar experiences in Lima.

    How much does 2 Day Tour Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca cost?

    +

    Prices start at $450 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 Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca 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 Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Day Tour Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca?

    +

    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 Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca 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 Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca?

    +

    Around 5 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 Paracas Reserve, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nazca 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 Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Lima to Paracas: Islands, Slave Tunnels & National Park in 1 day!, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs.. 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.
