Paracas Travel Guide

City Coastal town with marine reserve and beaches

Paracas sends birders and boaters to the Ballestas Islands and the Paracas National Reserve - rocky coves, millions of seabirds and sea lions. Winds carve the red desert shore; expect boat trips, kitesurfing options and fresh ceviche in town restaurants.
