Lunahuaná's canyons. Huacachina's dunes. Paracas' red cliffs. One loop.
April 2026, Marvin and I scouted this route start to finish — Lima south through Lunahuaná's wine canyons, the Huacachina desert oasis, and out to the wild Paracas coast. Came back with the trip planned. April 2027, we're running it with a small group.
Marvin's from Peru. He's been the local in every group ride we've done together in Austin — knows how to keep a group moving, keep everyone safe, and keep the energy up. He's leading this one. I helped plan it; he's running it.
Led by Marvin.

Lima — Arrive & Group Dinner
Fly into LIM. Group dinner the first night, trip briefing, bike fittings. Get settled before the real riding starts.
Pick Up Bikes — Ride to Lunahuaná
Collect your Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 in Lima. Head south down the coast then inland into the Cañete Valley. Pull into Lunahuaná — a wine and adventure-sports town tucked between canyon walls.
Cañete Canyons — Ride the Curves
Day loop through the Cañete canyons around Lunahuaná. River views, switchbacks, vineyards. Easy day to settle into the Himalayan and the Andean roads.
Lunahuaná → Huacachina
Push south to Huacachina — a real desert oasis ringed by towering dunes. Few hours of riding, mostly desert highway. Arrive in time for sunset over the dunes.
Huacachina — Free Day in the Dunes
Rest day. Sandboarding, dune buggies, pool. Or just sit in the oasis and watch the sand. Optional group ride if you want more saddle time.
Huacachina → Paracas
Short coastal ride to Paracas. Beach time, Pacific sunsets. Recover before the final stretch.
Paracas National Reserve — Free Riding Day
Free day to ride into the Paracas National Reserve — red cliffs, desert plains running into the ocean, otherworldly terrain. The kind of riding you can't believe is real until you're in it.
Paracas → Lima — Final Ride
Final ride back to Lima. Drop bikes, group dinner, goodbyes. Fly out April 24 (or extend your stay in Lima).

The questions that matter.
Is this safe? What's the track record?
Fifteen bikes through northern Thailand in 2025 — everyone came back in one piece, zero incidents on group rides. We ride at a sane pace with a group backup plan, and both 2026 trips sold out on the strength of that first run.
Who's leading this?
Marvin. He's Peruvian, and he and Varun rode this exact route start to finish in April 2026 before opening it to a group. He's been the local in every group ride they've done together in Austin — Varun planned it; Marvin runs it on home roads.
How do I know this is legit?
Fair question for a stranger on the internet. The 2025 expedition ran, 2026 sold out, and the rides are documented at @seamadventures. No payment is taken on this site — you register, Varun reaches out within 48 hours, and the deposit is arranged directly. Want to talk to a past rider first? Ask in the form and we'll connect you.
What if I have to cancel?
Deposits are non-refundable once your spot is confirmed. If something changes, email Varun — the earlier we know, the more options everyone has.
Rode with us before.
From our 2025 Thailand ride — Peru 2027 is this route's first group run.
“First international ride and I didn't know what to expect. Varun had everything sorted — bikes, hotels, the roads. I just showed up and rode.”
“I've done organized tours before and they feel corporate — this felt like riding with friends. Big difference.”
