Lovely peaceful oasis in the middle of the small town of Huacachina. It was so nice to sit and have a drink at a bar overlooking the water. We also had a go on one of the pedalos which was fun! You can also relax on the small beach by the water, although you do have to pay 3.50 soles (which isn't expensive).

The Ballestas Islands were a delight for nature lovers. We saw seals, penguins and birds in their natural habitat. Then, the Oasis of Huacachina surprised us with its surreal beauty, full of adrenaline and knowledge about these places outside of lime. I loved that they gave us time to drink or explore a little more of the places and the punctuality they drive is excellent
The logistics were impeccable, from transportation to expert guides. Very good explanation and organization of the itinerary, according to what is published.

The little oasis of Huacachina is BEAUTIFUL! A day that I will never forget.
You can arrive on your own or on a tour, the most common thing is to arrive at sunset to get on the buggies and sandboarding :) Everything is quite organized, food and water sales.
Quite busy during the weekend but it is a GIANT desert!!
You MUST come here on your trip to Peru!!

We had an absolutely incredible time with Terra Quechua Peru on the Paracas + Ica + Huacahina tour, Good service, good organization, a patient and very knowledgeable guide.
The bus left early, and the first destination Paracas, a while longer and we arrived at the pier, we took a speed boat, we first went to see "the cactus" are lines made 2000 years ago the same Nazca lines, we continued with the tour and arrived to the Ballesta Islands, these islands are full of life, all kinds of birds, sea lions and the stellar penguins, then we headed to the Huacachina lagoon, an oasis located in the dunes where we got on the Boogies, the trip was charming. through the desert and we did sandboarding, the entire tour was very entertaining
It is important to carry water and Gatorade to hydrate yourself throughout the entire route and a good camera to capture moments of the desert

Our tour of Paracas Ica and Huacachina with Terra Quechua Peru exceeded all our expectations, first we visited the Ballestas Islands which is a delight for nature lovers. We saw seals, penguins and birds in their natural habitat. Then, the Huacachina Oasis surprised us with its surreal beauty. The buggy rides were thrilling and the sandboarding was a unique experience. The agency took care of everything with great professionalism, highly recommended!

This is a quick stop along the drive to Nazca lines. Try to get here around sunset 5 pm in winter. Climb the sandy dune to view the sunset, and the oasis. Then walk to the laguna and enjoy the reeds, boats, mermaid statue and walk around. Tons of vendors, restaurants. We had a driver along the way so he was in the car while we hung out. We got some souvenirs. Beautiful jewelry. It was a nice experience

This Paracas - Ica - Huacachina tour surprised us with its biodiversity. The Huacachina Oasis is a magical place, and the dune buggy rides were thrilling. Sandboarding was the icing on the cake. The agency took care of everything, making the tour perfect. What impressed us most was the way the agency handled the little surprises of the day, like the extra stops to take pictures and enjoy the view. Everything was very well planned and executed - we would definitely recommend it!

I recommend it if you have time. Go a day early. Visit and walk all in complete tranquility. And then go to Tours which is faster. Because afterwards you are left wanting to go again. Or go on the tour and then go another day. Very good.

This lake can be found in the centre of Huacachina and is a definite must see if visiting Ica or Huacachina itself. The lake is beautiful and one can rent a boat or swim in its waters. The lake itself is lined with shops, restaurants, bars and cafes and is a very peaceful area in which to stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink. The lake is right next to the desert's sand dunes in which there is lots to do nearby such as dune buggying and sandboarding.

Gente! Como andan? Voy 10 dias a Peru y quisiera pasar por Ica y conocer la laguna, hacer sandboard y tubulares. Recomiendan que vaya directo a Ica y sacar tour? O conviene comprarlo de antemano? Sería para abril. Los leo... :-)
Written February 10, 2019
Viaja directo, comprar un paquete es un poco mas costoso y lo pagas en dolares, en el mismo lugar pagas con moneda local y dependiendo del cambio te resultaria mas economico. Ellos te proponen varias alternativas pero en Huacachina lo tienes todo. Buen viaje!

Hola Angomezr, disculpa pero las paginas de tours dicen que el recorrido es de una hora y veinte por los tubulares... por qué comentas que son de dos a tres horas? es un tour especial???
saludos y gracias :)
Written September 28, 2017
Si te ofrecen el tours de Ica solo Ica es aprox. de 3 horas , ya que en la huacachina solo es 1 hora aprox. lo demas son tours dentro de la ciudad de Ica , como la palmera de 7 cabezas , viñero cerca a la ciudad etc.
Saludos,
