Hey explorers! I’m part of the Dreamy Tours team, and today I’m taking you to a destination that combines endless desert with wild beaches: an unforgettable Ica Paracas tour. Imagine traveling from Ica to Paracas on a comfortable bus, or vice versa on a tour Ica that takes you from thrilling dunes to islands teeming with marine life. At Dreamy Tours, as experts in tours en Ica, we’ve designed perfect packages so you can experience the best of this southern region of Peru, from the Huacachina Oasis to the historic Hacienda Tacama. Whether you’re planning a full day Ica or a longer trip, this is your spot for adrenaline, history, and unique flavors. Ready for an Ica Paracas adventure that will get your heart racing?
Why Choose an Ica Paracas Tour: From Lima to Adventure
An Ica tour from Lima is super accessible: just 4 hours by bus on the Pan-American Highway South, with Pacific Ocean views that are worth the trip alone. Many of our clients start in Lima and choose an Ica to Paracas tour for a full day of contrasts: the dry desert of Ica and the living sea of Paracas. At Dreamy Tours, we offer flexible Ica tours, like a full day Ica that includes transfers and activities, or 2-3 day packages to dive deeper.
I remember a group of friends who traveled from Ica to Paracas on our private bus and ended up ecstatic watching the sunset over the dunes. If you’re looking for authentic Ica tours, we handle it all: local guides, insurance, and fair prices so you can focus on enjoying yourself.
Explore Huacachina: The Heart of Your Huacachina Tours
There are no tours in Ica without Huacachina, the natural oasis in the middle of the desert, just 5 km from Ica. On our Huacachina tours, you’ll ride in Ica dune buggies – those 4×4 vehicles that roar over the dunes – and practice sandboarding, gliding down as if on snow but on golden sand. The lagoon is magical: surrounded by palm trees, with legends of a mermaid who created it. It’s ideal for a half-day Ica tour, with time for epic sunset photos.
At Dreamy Tours, we personalize: if you’re traveling with family, we tone down the speed of the Ica dune buggies; for adventurers, we add extra jumps. It’s the adrenaline rush that makes an Ica to Paracas trip epic!
From Ica to Paracas: Ballestas Islands and National Reserve
The trip from Paracas to Ica is short – just 1 hour – and opens the door to coastal wonders. On our Ica Paracas tour, you’ll set sail on a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands, Peru’s “Poor Man’s Galapagos,” where you’ll see sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and migratory birds. Then, tour the Paracas National Reserve: red beaches, the Cathedral (a rock formation), and the Candelabro geoglyph carved into the sand.
It’s a highlight of any Ica Paracas tour, with time for snorkeling or a picnic at Lagunillas. Our guides explain the biodiversity, making the trip both educational and fun.
Wine Route in Ica: Visit Hacienda Tacama and Tambo de Tacama
Ica is the birthplace of pisco, and no Ica tour is complete without Tacama Ica. This colonial hacienda from 1540, the oldest in South America, welcomes you with centuries-old vineyards and tastings of award-winning wines and piscos. Stroll through the viceregal architecture – courtyard, chapel, and bell tower – and learn the process from grape to bottle.
Nearby, the Tambo de Tacama is a wine tourism center with an award-winning restaurant, where you can try Ica dishes like pallares beans with a Don Manuel, their iconic wine. At Dreamy Tours, we include this route in our Ica tours, with paired lunches for a sensory experience.
My Experience on an Ica Paracas Tour with Dreamy Tours
On one of our recent tours en Ica, a couple celebrated their anniversary with a full day Ica: they started at Hacienda Tacama with a romantic tasting, continued to Huacachina for sunset dune buggies, and ended in Paracas with a seaside dinner. “From Ica to Paracas is like a dream!” they said. As an agency, we love creating these moments: comfortable transfers, small groups, and that personal touch that makes all the difference.
