Josi is a sweet heart and super helpful.
Paracas tour was great, really fun and informative!
The restaurant for lunch, I think could offer more options of food.
Huacachina is quite small so one hour is more than enough to explore the place. We had one hour free before going in the desert to do the activities and see the sunset. It would be great to have the option to go in the desert before and enjoy the view of sunset over the oasis! When we went in the desert the sun was already going down and we had to go straight away to the buggies, which did not give us enough time to enjoy the view.
The experience was amazing tho and I would definitely do it again
