It is one of the best experiences I have had; Peru is impressive, its landscapes, its food, its people. I loved everything, I would do it again and again. Thanks to my guide Edgar because he made the experience much more pleasant and I learned a lot about Peru thanks to him.
This tour exceeded all my expectations! In the morning, we enjoyed a boat ride where we were able to see dolphins, whales, and sea lions. Afterward, we tried all kinds of drinks made with pisco, a very fun experience! And to end the day, we enjoyed an incredible buggy ride through the dunes of Huacachina. Our guide, Karyma, was very kind and attentive throughout the day. Thank you very much for an unforgettable experience!
My friends and I LOVED the excursion. One of the best experiences of our lives. And super well organized!!!!! You can't miss ittttttt
Beautiful place, its people are very warm, Huacachina is wonderful, the buggies on the dunes are not recommended for people who do not like adrenaline, but if you want to take the risk, it is definitely worth it; the sunset is incredible.
It was just amazing !!! The sceneries were simply spectacular
beautiful day to spend with friends, I highly recommend them, the experience is worth it!!
Edgar is an excellent guide, honestly the best experience I have had in ICA. Completely recommended and especially Edgar!
Excellent, we were able to see the sunset and have various experiences throughout; the guides are super friendly, it is completely worth it.
It is an experience worth paying for, they are very attentive with the entire itinerary, they are always checking on how we are all feeling, when we arrived at Huacachina the buggies were incredible, extreme, and worth the price.
Such a nice experience. Unfortunately due to sickness, i wasn’t able to do any activities since the bathroom were my best friend, but Edgar the tourist guide was such a sweet soul that help me so much when others went to the activities which my friend loved. I will book again to actually do those activities in better shape!
