Culture Pisco
Tour and tasting of Peru's spiritual distillate: Pisco. The province of Pisco is located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, 230 kilometers south of the capital of Peru. It was in this place where, more than 450 years ago, the first vines were planted. The city owes its name to the pre-Columbian civilization that settled in the same valley a thousand years before, and that called the birds that nested on the banks of the ravines pisku. Over the centuries, that word – which became the name Pisco – was inherited by the city, the river, the port and the province. Peruvian pisco is characterized by its flavor, aroma and quality, with a designation of origin that guarantees its authenticity. In addition, Peruvian pisco is appreciated for its versatility, since it can be enjoyed alone or in cocktails, and even in gastronomy to enhance the flavor of various dishes. Inside the vineyard there is a restaurant to enjoy local cuisine. (lunch not included).

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour?
+
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 Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour?
+
Around 0 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 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paracas Bay And Oasis of Huacachina in Ica Full Day Tour 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, Paracas and Huacachina Exclusive Sunset Picnic Tour, Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. 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.
