🧭 Itinerary Overview

Day 1 – Sunset & Night Sky in Huacachina

Your adventure begins as we head south from Lima to the desert oasis of Huacachina. After settling in, you’ll head into the sand dunes in a private buggy, away from the crowds and into the vast silence of the desert.

Capture the golden light as it sweeps across the dunes, and—if skies allow—photograph the Milky Way rising over the sand, with star trails and dreamy nightscapes.

Enjoy an overnight stay in a comfortable hotel, ready for an unforgettable second day.


Day 2 – Nazca Flight & Paracas National Park

The day begins with a transfer to Pisco Airport, where you’ll board a 1h30 flight over the Nazca Lines. With longer airtime than most tours, you’ll have better opportunities to photograph iconic geoglyphs such as the Monkey, Hummingbird, Astronaut, and Condor—mysteries carved into the desert and visible only from above.

After the flight, continue to Paracas National Park, a breathtaking collision of desert and ocean. Capture dramatic cliffs, rust-colored beaches, layered rock formations, and—if conditions are right—spot flamingos feeding in the shallows, along with pelicans and coastal birds.

Return to Lima in the afternoon with a memory card full of dramatic light, surreal terrain, and aerial wonders.

Note: The order of activities may shift slightly based on weather and flight availability. All experiences are included regardless of order.
