An Unfiltered Travel Guide & Photo Diary
Sand, sea, and non-stop adventure. Sound good to you? Then buckle up for this five-day tour of the Peruvian coast. Heading out from Lima, stop at a small coastal town to devour fresh seafood and to try your hand at sandboarding, before zooming around on dune buggies at sunset. Next, spend a couple of nights by a desert oasis with lots of time for optional activities nearby or at the hostel. Then you’ll catch a boat to the Ballestas Islands to spot birds and sea lion colonies, before settling into your hostel in the bohemian neighbourhood of Barranco that’s jam-packed with trendy bars, restaurants, and art galleries.
While many Peru trips focus on the ancient history of Cusco and the Andes, this tour is for the adventure-seeker who prefers coastlines over mountains. It prioritizes adrenaline-fueled activities like dune buggying over archaeological sites. If you want a short, action-packed social trip focused on desert landscapes and ocean wildlife, this is a better fit than a traditional, history-heavy itinerary.
Day trips and alternative tours from other operators — good for adding to a longer trip or comparing styles.
