Experience Peru's dramatic southern Pacific coastline and vast coastal desert on an unhurried 2-day journey originating from Lima. On Day 1, cruise past sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and the prehistoric Candelabra geoglyph at the Ballestas Islands before heading to the Huacachina desert oasis for adrenaline-fueled dune buggies and sandboarding at golden hour. On Day 2, take off in a specialized Cessna aircraft from the desert aerodrome for a 35-minute panoramic flight directly above the world-famous Nazca Lines, marveling at the Monkey, Hummingbird, Spider, and Astronaut etched into the plains over two millennia ago.
