Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrival Lima
Location: Lima
Accommodation Name: Ibis Reducto
Arrive at the airport where a representative will meet and greet you, as well as help you with the transfer to your selected hotel. Have the rest of the day at leisure, exploring the beautiful surroundings or just relaxing at the hotel.

Day 2 : Lima – Paracas – Nasca Lines Overflight (255 Km 4 Hrs)
Location: Paracas
Accommodation Name: San Agustin Paracas
At the indicated time, transfer from the selected hotel to the bus station where you take tourist bus to Paracas. After four hours of travel, arrive at Pisco airport and enjoy a flight of 1 hour and 30 minutes over the desert observing the mysterious Nasca lines. Nasca is a small town that perhaps would go unnoticed on a map if it didn't host the famous lines engraved on the desert. A monkey, a spider, a condor, all very large, can be seen from the sky, so you try to decipher the mystery. If the weather conditions or airspace permit, fly over the recent findings in Palpa, as well. After flying over these impressive mountains, that host marine fossils up to 150 million years old, the journey ends. Transfer to the hotel in Paracas, and have the afternoon at leisure.
Overnight at the selected hotel in Paracas.
Day 3 : Paracas –Ballestas Island – Lima (245Km 4 Hours By Land)
Location: Lima
Have a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Then, transfer to the Chaco station and hop on the boat going to the Ballestas Islands. This is a natural reserve with beautiful geological formations and impressive animal fauna, where pre-Inca culture can be observed. The Ballestas Islands are inhabited by birds, pelicans, sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and other fascinating species. On the way, you can see the still inexplicable lines drawn in the sand forming a candelabra shape. At the end of your boat tour, you will be taken to the bus station for your transfer to Lima.

How does Today Voyages work?
We are an Online Travel Agency, specialized in Group Vacations and Private Vacations. We have been in business for over 30 years through our sister company Go West Tours and, throughout the years, have developed an extensive network of trusted professionals around the world and a structured methodology to screen our suppliers. Today Voyages offers a selection of tours that are designed, managed and operated by our network of trusted Tour Operators and DMCs. Our database is connected with our partners so that when you make a booking with us this will immediately be received and processed by the Tour Operator.
-
Where should I buy the flights to reach my destination?
Today Voyages does not sell flights directly. None of our tours come with flights included. Why? Because we prefer to give full flexibility to our valued customers to select the airlines and the booking platform they prefer. As soon as your flight is booked and confirmed, we invite you to update your flight plan within your Today Voyages booking confirmation page by entering your flight number, departure and arrival times, as well as your Passport information (if needed). None of these fields are mandatory but we highly encourage you to provide as much information as possible. This will allow us to provide you with the excellent service you are looking for.
-
What is an additional excursion or tour optional?
Certain tours might show a selection of additional excursions/optional activities that you may want to add to our standard itinerary. These services are priced separately and can be added to the cart before completing the booking. We believe these optional services to contribute to making your vacation unforgettable; however, you are in no way obliged to purchase them. All our tours are awesome with our without optional services!
-
What is the difference between Group Vacations and Private Vacations?
If you purchase one of our Group vacation packages, you will be escorted by a professional tour guide and will be traveling with other like-minded travelers you may not know. The group size depends on the tour you select. If you purchase one of our Private vacation packages, you will be traveling only within your group of friends. You may or may not be escorted by a professional tour guide; this depends on the type of private tour you are interested in.
-
When and how will I receive the travel documents (vouchers)?
If you book one of our Group or Private tours, you will receive your travel documents via email approximately 20 days prior to travel date. If you reserve one of our Vacation Rentals, you will hear back from the property manager via email a few days prior to checking-in. We recommend checking your emails on a regular basis as this is our most reliable method of communication. If you have questions or need additional support, you can always chat with us or email us directly.
-
What happens if a Group tour does not get confirmed?
It is very simple... you will be offered an alternative departure date or be refunded the full amount you pre-paid. No questions asked!
-
What happens after I book?
The majority of our tours are confirmed at the time of booking. This means that, after submitting the payment online, you will receive an order confirmation email; make sure to save this email and to note down your confirmation number for any future communication with us. Some tours may be sold on a 'on request' basis. This means that for these tours we reserve the right to check the availability of your spot(s) with the Tour Operator before confirming the tour to you. As soon as you submit the payment online for a 'on request' tour you will receive an email notification that confirms your order request. Within 72 hours, you will receive either a confirmation email or a denial email. Do not worry... we will do everything we can to confirm your tour!
