Combine Peruvian pisco and vineyard tours with an adrenaline-charged dune buggy and sandboarding session in Huacachina. Spend a single day tasting Tacama and CulturPisco before chasing the desert sunset on the dunes.
The day opens with heat shimmering off ochre vineyards and the desert dunes crouching like sleeping giants beyond town. Travelers begin among low-slung rows of grapes at a working hacienda, where wood and steel fermentations fill the air with bright, fermented fruit and the distant echo of machinery. Later, the ride pivots—wheels crunch onto sand, the buggy engine growls, and Huacachina’s dunes loom, daring you to climb, slide, and chase the sun.

The day opens with heat shimmering off ochre vineyards and the desert dunes crouching like sleeping giants beyond town. Travelers begin among low-slung rows of grapes at a working hacienda, where wood and steel fermentations fill the air with bright, fermented fruit and the distant echo of machinery.

History here is tangible: Tacama is one of Peru’s oldest wineries, with colonial-era roots and a living link between Spanish viticulture and local distilling traditions. Geologically, this region is coastal desert—wind-carved dunes of fine silica and silt shaped by Pacific breezes, sitting an hour south of Lima’s coastal plain. Culturally, pisco tasting is part tasting and part storytelling: grape varietals, distillation styles, and recipes handed down through families.
Practical guidance: the full experience is 5–6 hours, combining two winery visits and a 4x4 buggy run with sandboarding at sunset. Expect short walking tours on flat gravel and a bumpy dune ride; dress for sun and wind. Carry water and sun protection; the desert reflects sunlight and cools quickly after sunset.
For planners: confirm hotel or bus-station pickup in Ica, note lunch is typically not included at the second vineyard, and bring a small daypack for cameras and sunscreen. The sequence—winery, tasting, Huacachina transfer—keeps transitions tight, rewarding those who want a single-day mix of terroir and adrenaline.
Yes—pickup and drop-off from Ica hotels or the bus station are typically included; confirm your pickup point during booking.
Lunch is not included; the second winery has a typical country restaurant where you can buy lunch during the scheduled hour-long stop.
Infants must sit on laps and the tour is not recommended for people with serious back or heart problems; minors can usually participate with supervision—check operator rules.
Yes—there are multiple photo stops at the wineries and a panoramic viewpoint over Huacachina; bring a secure strap for cameras on the buggy ride.
