First, protecting yourself from the sun is paramount during your Tour Paracas and Huacachina Full Day. We strongly advise bringing caps and glasses. These will shield your eyes and face from the strong coastal and desert sun, enhancing your comfort during boat excursions and dune activities. Sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat are also essential for all excursions, providing crucial protection against UV rays. Remember that the desert sun can be intense, so continuous protection is vital.

Footwear should prioritize comfort and practicality. Sneakers are highly recommended. They are ideal for walking on various terrains, including vineyards and navigating around the Huacachina Oasis. For the exhilarating experience of tubing and Sandboarding Huacachina on the dunes, closed and comfortable shoes are a must to protect your feet from sand and ensure stability.

Clothing choices should focus on lightness and adaptability. Light clothing is recommended for the warmer daytime temperatures in Paracas and Huacachina. Bringing an extra change of clothes is also a wise decision, especially after engaging in sandy activities like sandboarding, ensuring you remain fresh for the return journey. Additionally, due to the coastal environment, insect repellent and blocker are important to keep you comfortable throughout the day.

Finally, for your personal convenience, we recommend bringing some practical essentials. Having snacks readily available will help maintain your energy levels throughout this action-packed full day tour. While water is often available, carrying a reusable water bottle is always a good idea. Bringing plastic bags to store any garbage is also important, ensuring we leave no trace and maintain the pristine beauty of these natural environments. Having checks and coins on hand in small denominations, preferably local currency (soles), will be useful for any small purchases or souvenirs. A small backpack is ideal for carrying your personal belongings such as camera, wallet, and a light jacket.
