Paracas National Reserve Minibuggy Tour
from US$ 25.68 per person
A 2-hour ride through the Paracas National Reserve in a two-seat minibuggy you drive, with your companion beside you. You start at El Chaco pier with a safety briefing from the guide-instructor, then follow them along the desert trails as the Pacific shows up between hills of sand and rock.
This is the option for people who want to drive in the desert but stay together: couples, friends or an adult with a child, since the passenger has no age restriction. The driver must be an adult with a valid license. There are morning and afternoon departures; bring sunglasses, sunscreen and a jacket, because the afternoon wind kicks up sand.

Frequently asked questions
Who can drive the minibuggy?
The driver must be an adult with a valid driver's license. The other person rides as a passenger.
Can children come?
Yes, as passengers of a licensed adult driver. Each minibuggy carries two people.
How is it different from the ATV tour?
On the ATV tour each person drives their own vehicle and only those 18 and over can take part. In the minibuggy two people share one vehicle, which suits couples or an adult riding with a child.
Is hotel pickup included?
No. We meet at El Chaco pier in Paracas, and hotel pickup or drop-off is not included.
Can I add the Ballestas Islands?
Yes, there is a half-day version that combines the Ballestas boat trip with the minibuggy, with pickup in central Ica.
