We left early (5 am) to get to Paracas first, with a pit stop to get a delicious breakfast (pan con chicharrones highly recommended). After a few hours, we got to Paracas, where a boat tour took us to visit el Candelabro de Paracas as well the local fauna on the nearby islands. We were lucky enough to see plenty of pelicans, cormorants and see lions, as well and some penguins. Really gorgeous. We then moved to Ica, where we had lunch in a restaurant and had a Pisco tasting, that does cheer you up. We lastly got to Huacachina, where some dune buggies drove us up and down the sand dunes and dropped us to do some sand boarding. We then got back to huacachina, where we rested a few minutes for pictures of the oasis as the sun was setting, fantastic view.
Highly recommended day, also thanks to Jesus, who was able to entertain us during the day as well as guide us and inform us about everything surrounding us.
