Review of Lima's long Paracas and Huacachina day trip, with Ballestas wildlife, pisco tasting, dune buggies, and sandboarding.

“Initially, we were a bit apprehensive about the tour because it is a very long day with a 4:30 am pick up. However, it was well worth it! You get to do and learn so much in one day. Mayer was a great guide and kept us organized and on time the whole way. The islands were beautiful, the sand buggy rides were a blast and the food at the winery was great. We highly recommend. Definitely dress in layers because the island trip can be chilly but the dessert of course is hot.”

Lima: Paragliding Flight Over Costa Verde Districts

13.Paragliding Flight Over Costa Verde Districts

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 248 reviews · from $54

Fly above Lima’s Costa Verde districts on a 15-minute tandem paragliding trip with safety gear and a free HD video.

“The flight was perfect. I would have rated it 4.5 for the following reasons: 1) It was a little misleading where they are located, much further than I thought. They do provide transportation from a KFC in Miraflores which we didn't use. 2) I didn't notice this was paramotoring. Not that I was disappointed, but none of us noticed this in the listing. 3) They break the video up in 2 and the break was right where we were going side to side and almost upside down (it felt) so I was disappointed to miss that). I would request they not do that. But overall it was a great time…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 164 reviews · 4 hours · from $79

Explore Pachacamac from Lima with hotel pickup, a museum tour, ancient temples, Pacific views, and expert guides for $79.

“Edwin is a very professional and personable guide. He provided information about Pachacamac and Peruvian history/culture that I otherwise would not have known. I was very glad to have taken this tour, rather than trying to manage a solo trip using public transportation, not only because it was pretty far away, but having Luis (our driver) take us through the enormous site was a lot more comfortable than walking under the heat of a blazing sun. Incredible historic site and small but informative museum are well worth the trip.”
