One day from Lima feels too packed to be real, but this luxury bus trip (hotel pickup included) nails five highlights without rushing. A 2-hour boat tour around the Ballestas Islands has sea lions barking, penguins waddling and pelicans diving all around. Next, La Caravedo – America’s oldest vineyard – serves a proper Peruvian lunch, lively horse show and relaxed pisco tasting that shows how the national drink is made. Free time in palm-fringed Huacachina lets you chill by the oasis. Adrenaline kicks in with a 2-hour dune buggy ride over massive sands, plus sandboarding (stand or sit). End with an exclusive dune-top sunset picnic – drinks and bites as the desert glows gold and pink. Comfy bus the whole way, everything included – Peru’s most complete day trip.
