So, so happy I stumbled upon this website to book two private transports while visiting Lima, Peru. They were both one-way trips approximately 3 hours in length. Great communication as soon as everything was booked via email and I then downloaded their app. I had a few issues with the app and the customer service was awesome trying to assist me in getting it corrected. Honestly impressive customer service which gave you a positive feeling that you made the right choice. Both drivers were right on time - No issues whatsoever! Can't say enough about the service and ease of everything when travelling so far away. Great job to the daytrip team! Would strongly recommend.

Know more about traveling from Pisco
Absolutely. Pisco sits at a natural crossroads on Peru's south coast. Ica, home to the Huacachina oasis and towering sand dunes, is only about 70 km (43 miles) further south. Nazca, famous for its ancient lines, is roughly 210 km (130 miles) from Pisco. Daytrip's flexibility means your driver can build in stops along the route rather than locking you into a fixed tour group itinerary â so this corridor makes for an exceptional multi-stop journey.
Pisco is approximately 240 km (149 miles) south of Lima along the Panamericana Sur. A private transfer typically takes around 3 to 3.5 hours depending on traffic leaving the capital. Traveling with a driver means you arrive rested and can head straight to the Ballestas Islands or the reserve â no bus terminal queues, no schedule juggling.
A well-paced day is enough to experience the highlights. A morning boat tour to the Ballestas Islands takes roughly 2 hours, leaving the rest of the day for the Paracas National Reserve or a relaxed lunch by the waterfront in the town of Paracas. If you're coming from Lima, plan for an early departure to maximize your time on the water before the afternoon winds pick up on the bay.
It's one of the most accessible and rewarding destinations on Peru's coast for all types of travelers. The Ballestas Islands boat tours are short, easy, and genuinely exciting for kids â spotting penguins and sea lions up close needs no prior travel experience to appreciate. The roads from Lima are well-paved, the distances are manageable, and arriving in a private vehicle with a local driver who knows the area means you're never left figuring out logistics on your own.
The Ballestas Islands are the crown jewel â nicknamed the "poor man's GalĂĄpagos," they host enormous colonies of sea lions and seabirds just a short boat ride from shore. On the way out, you'll pass the Candelabra, a mysterious geoglyph etched into a clifftop that rivals the Nazca Lines in intrigue. The Paracas National Reserve itself offers stark, wind-carved desert scenery and red-sand beaches that feel like the edge of the world. The town of Paracas, just south of Pisco, is the practical base for all of this.
Pisco is the gateway to one of Peru's most dramatic coastal landscapes. It sits on the edge of the Paracas National Reserve, a sweeping desert peninsula where the Andes meet the Pacific. The area is famous for its stunning wildlife â sea lions, Humboldt penguins, flamingos, and condors all call this region home. Whether you're drawn to nature, history, or the origins of Peru's iconic spirit (yes, pisco the drink is named after this region), a day here feels genuinely unlike anywhere else on South America's coast.
