Visiting Lima is always a rewarding experience! We booked an early evening visit to the awesome "Huaca Pucllana" inca ruins, rather impressive with the scenic lights on. Right after the visit, reservations were made at "Huaca Pucllana Dining Experience", a restaurant by the acclaimed Chef Marilú Madueño! No need to say we got a table almost in front of the main pyramid! What a feeling! We had a fantastic dinner, with courteous and kind service, a nice wine and Chef Marilú Madueño outstanding cuisine - Italian flavors and Peruvian touches. We loved the experience! Bon Appétit!

My friend and I had a great experience with Sam. The day started off with getting picked up at the bus station. The car we drove in was very nice and comfortable, the air-conditioning kept the car at a cool temperature. Sam was very informative throughout the drive. The Tacama vineyard was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. The tour was nice and thoughtfully planned out. The next destination was good as well. Lunch was included and it was delicious (but you will have to pay for the drinks you order). The Dune buggy through the desert and Sand boarding was the best part of our day. It was a great experience and quite the adventure. Highly recommended!!

A great day with lots to see and do. The boat ride to start the day where we went to the islands of Paracus and saw the seals and penguins was excellent. Lots of history to enjoy while taking a comfy boat ride. (BRING SUNSCREEN) Following this, we headed to Huacachina. We were overwhelmed by the size of the dunes, and had an awesome time riding down them and riding the wild buggies. Excellent photos and great memories. Highly recommend to all. (AGAIN- SUNSCREEN NEEDED). The guides were great and very prompt.

The Huacachina desert is very large and its dunes are really huge, can you imagine sliding down them at full speed? We do not have to imagine why we live it, the experience is really fascinating. I was able to hire one of these bikes to drive myself and a guide bike was pending my safety, it was really incredible.

We had a fantastic time with Peru Your Trip in Huacachina. All staff is very friendly and professional. The agency is right at the Plaza del armas in Ica, they call you a Taxi to Huacachina. It takes 10 min and costs 8 soles. Here we found a series of dunes large and small and our buggy did go up and down feeling lot of adrenaline in this desert . They made some stops in the high dunes for the practice of Sandboarding . They use a new and very safe Polaris . It is a big bonus for your confort and your back! And it is only for 4 passengers . Most of the others companies tours use old and not safe large buggys with 6-10 passengers.It is the same price than others tours but the quality of the service is so much better. We did 1 hour tour and I booked/paid by credit card on line, no problems at all. Highly recommended if you want some action and after relaxing time and the oasis.
