Additional Information

  • The weather in Paracas and Ica is warm and dry, so it is recommended to wear light clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. A light jacket is suggested, as it can get chilly in the morning.
  • High temperatures and dry weather can cause dehydration, so it’s a good idea to carry a reusable water bottle. You can also pack light snacks like nuts or energy bars for long journeys.
  • On tours, it’s best to carry only the essentials (cash, ID, and a secure camera or cell phone). A small backpack with a secure closure is recommended.
  • No experience is necessary to try sandboarding in Huacachina. It’s an activity suitable for everyone, and guides will provide basic instructions for safe sandboarding. If you prefer, you can also descend lying down on the board instead of standing up.
