• 3Not worth the price, not really customer friendly service with very limited safety measures.

  The program itself was quite unorganized sadly. The pickup time they mentioned didnt meet reality sadly, the duration of the trip also didnt reach the promised 2 hours. They put us in a buggy under the burning sun, behind other buggies with running engine, inhaling that horrible toxic gas for over 15 minutes before the tour started. In the description they dont mention that you need to pay the park entrance fee again, what was already included in the program price. 12 solis per person. At this check point you again need to under the burning sun for 10-15 minutes until every person of the group pays the fee. There should be a 5 meter safety distance between each buggies normally, but noone kept this rule, we got hit from the back several times, on of the buggies almost crashed 2 cars on the road as well. The seatbelt on our buggy didnt work at all sadly. The maintainance of the buggies are bad sadly.

• 5Dune buggy in Paracas

  We had a great time cruising through the reserve. Our guide was friendly and informative. We had fun and would recommend this to see some of the beautiful coastlines in Paracas.

• 5Great and exciting tour

  This tour was great, we had an excellent guide. It is a well organized tour with three short stops to take pictures. It is an amazing place to see and the dune buggy was a great way to see it. I highly recommend doing it, take the extended route.

• 5Fun drive, safety very Peruvian

  Collected us 15 minutes late, though did answer a WhatsApp call immediately when I called to make sure they were coming. Briefing was brief (there is the go pedal, the stop pedal and how to run the engine on /off). The helmets were bicycle helmets. The seatbelts did not work. Driving them was fun. They were fairly gutless so the chances of having an accident were fairly low. We went to three stops, a big windy beach for 20 minutes, a high point overlooking the red beach for 10 minutes, another viewpoint nearer the red beach and back to Paracas along the main road.

• 5Bumpy fun!

  Convenient location and a guide who looked not for our safety crossing streets etc.. Not a lot of info along the ride but great stops and dynamic views. There was just us and the guide so the pace was nice.

• 2Poor equipment.

  We got to place and we’re set with 3 buggies. 2ppl per buggy. Within a block first buggy broke down. Was replaced. We went on. And when we got to park another buggy could kot go full speed. They tried fixing it many times. Too many times in my opinion. We wasted half hour of tour before they sent for a replacement. Equipment was not what it should have been. Guide was good. I know he felt bad.

About Paracas

Paracas is a small Pacific bay on Peru's south coast, where desert meets the ocean and boats set out to the sea-lion islands.

Paracas lies on a bay south of Lima, in the Ica region, where bare desert hills run straight into the Pacific. Most of the peninsula is part of the Paracas National Reserve, the first marine protected area in Peru, a landscape of red sand cliffs and pelican-fringed beaches, with the Red Beach as a famous stop. The Paracas culture, known for its fine textiles, flourished here more than two thousand years ago.
