Here, you will also have the opportunity to taste some of the products. Then, drive southwest towards Huacachina Oasis, a beautiful lagoon surrounded by palm trees and huge sand dunes with a spectacular view of Ica Valley and desert.

Joel was awesome! We were in Peru for a week and this was the coolest experience! From just the excellent customer service & knowledge that Joel provided, to transportation, to the activities we did throughout the day - everything was flawless! I would 10/10 recommend Joel & this whole activity to anyone & everyone. Can't say enough great things!

Everything was better than expected! We tryed the Pisco and saw the vineyard with Jesus as our guide. He explained everything. The tour guide in the Inca dessert with Jamil was amazing, he even took beautiful pictures of us and the adrenaline with the sand car was just wow. They even pick you up with spot clean cars and respectful drivers. Thank you for everything.

The driver (Jorge) was very nice and the car was very nice as well. The pisco sour tasting was child or fun because the lady who did it was very nice. Huacachina is ok .... a bit overrated ... the buggy tour with the sandboarding was a lot if fun although there was no sunshine for us due to the rain. It was a nice day.
