    Top notch tour guide

    Ronald is excellent tour guide. He is knowledgeable, kind, attentive and loves to share his knowledge about the places we visited; esp the history of Inca . He is also funny at times and is able to make us laugh. He is attentive when the hike gets tough. I would highly recommend him to friends and others

    Good tour guide

    Ronald Guia was our guide. He speaks English and was eager to answer all questions and looked up answers that he didn't know. He also kept us safe, telling us in advance things that we should or should not do in each location. Thank you very much Ronald!

    Visit to Ica

    My tour of Ica and Paracas was an unforgettable experience. At Ica, I enjoyed the thrill of sandboarding through the dunes and relaxing in the oasis of Huacachina, a real desert paradise. Paracas surprised me with its stunning National Reserve, where I saw an incredible variety of wildlife and enjoyed the beautiful ocean views. The boat trip to the Ballestas Islands was a highlight, with sightings of sea lions, penguins and seabirds. In short, Ica and Paracas offer unique adventures and spectacular scenery that made this tour a memorable experience.

    Fantastic experience with Maria and Diego

    A group of 7 friends spent an incredible day, visiting the ruins of Pachacamac, the oasis of Huacachina (Ica) and ending with a very fun Pisco tasting. 100% personalized excursion for the group. María's treatment was very kind, because María exudes closeness and sympathy. Furthermore, María knows how to explain things in a pleasant and interesting way. It really shows that he has a great knowledge of Peruvian history and culture, answering any questions or doubts we had. Diego's driving was excellent and safe, while the vehicle was very large and comfortable for everyone. We had a perfect balance between explaining things and personal space to disconnect. María and Diego are top professionals. 100% recommended!

    Paracas - Ica - Huacachina (shared service): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Paracas - Ica - Huacachina (shared service) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 - Ica - Huacachina (shared service) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 - Ica - Huacachina (shared service) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 - Ica - Huacachina (shared service)?

    +

    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 - Ica - Huacachina (shared service) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paracas - Ica - Huacachina (shared service)?

    +

    Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paracas - Ica - Huacachina (shared service) 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.
