Great experience. Islas ballestas, wine tasting at Ica and finally buggy riding and sandboarding at Huacachina, all in the same day. Sergio and Jorge are very attentive and helpful guides. Some time intervals for food and photos are short, but I think it's necessary for all the activities condensed in one day plus the transportation from Lima. Other than that, great tour.
