Experience Summary

Visit the famous Huacachina oasis, a natural lagoon surrounded by imposing sand dunes in the heart of the Ica desert. This emerald paradise, known as "the Oasis of America," is one of Peru's most unique and iconic landscapes.

Walk along the shores of the oasis on quiet boat rides, capturing perfect reflections of palm trees in the crystal clear water. The golden hour of sunset turns the dune horizon into a living painting of oranges and ochres that will take the breath away of any photographer or curious traveler.

Our local guide will tell you the legend of the princess who gave life to the oasis and will take you to the best viewpoints on the dunes for an unparalleled panoramic view of the wetland in the middle of the desert.
