    Tacama

    We will visit Hacienda Tacama, South America's oldest estate, where the flavor of its wines and piscos, combined with its impressive facilities, makes for a unique experience within the city. On Mondays, this visit is replaced by Hacienda Vista Alegre; while the category is the same, the history differs. The goal remains the same: to introduce you to Peru's most iconic spirits, which are renowned worldwide.

    Next, we will visit Fundo El Arrabal to experience the "Cultur Pisco" program. Here, we will learn about the production process of pisco and its derivatives, while exploring a vast grove of pecan trees and other fruits and crops unique to this location. Its eco-friendly and pet-friendly atmosphere ensures a truly exceptional experience. It is worth noting that the estate features a traditional restaurant where travelers often have lunch after the tour and activities; meals are at the traveler's own expense.

    La Casa de Bamboo

    This is where we wait until it is time to head out for the final experience. Here, you can take a break, use the restrooms, and get ready to start the experience at 4:00 PM. You can also use this time to purchase protective gear for your adventure (this is optional).

    Huacachina

    This adventure lasts two hours. We begin by climbing a small dune to board the buggies. Your guide will explain everything you need to know for the experience and will be at your disposal throughout the entire adventure. We will ride this natural roller coaster, enjoying pure fun and adrenaline. Afterward, you will go sandboarding, a safe and fun activity multiple times; the guide will teach you the proper technique. This adventure is made truly unique and wonderful by the sunsets in Ica. Your photos will serve as a lasting record of this unforgettable experience. (Between summer and autumn, the sun sets later, so we depart around 4:30 PM. Don't worry; this does not affect the duration of the experience. On public holidays and long weekends, this part of the experience is adjusted to one hour due to high traveler demand.)

    2 hours Admission ticket free
