Islas Ballestas

If you are travelling on a cruise and passes through Paracas, don't miss this opportunity and visit the Ballestas islands. This tour is for all visitors who are landing at San Martin Port where you can enjoy a half day trip around the beautiful Islands. You will be able to spot thousands of marine species such as, penguins, sea lions, sea birds, dolphins and many other species.

It was a privilege to visit these islands by boat early in the morning. Our trip left from the hotel jetty. We had a chance to see the Nazca "candelabra " up close which was a nice add on to our flight over the Lines a few days before. The islands of course are brimming with bird life and the boat was able to get quite close to the cliffs to watch them.Quite bizarre having a tiny Humboldt penguin and an enormous pelican in the same photo! There is plenty of opportunity to see the sea lions basking…there are hundreds of them, including babies. The history of this place is interesting too. At one time the value of the Guano ( bird poo) was worth more as a fertiliser to the Peruvian economy than gold! No-one is allowed to land on the islands apart from the wardens who stay there for three months at a time. They are a protected site. I have not been to the Galapagos islands, but my trip to Ballestas must surely have been nearly as good?

Playa Roja

Reviewed By DonCesar - Nuremberg, Germany

Great looking beach. No one there and I am not sure if it’s possible to just let there or if it’s supposed to be only to look and not to lay there. Amazing landscape.

Paracas Nature Reserve

Reviewed By wanderingtwoplus1

Worth a visit. We found that going with a guide worked for us. There are only about 3-4 restaurants inside the reserve. There is a fee to enter the park. I can't remember how much exactly (maybe $10 for 2 adults and 1 child) but definitely bring some cash for the entrance fee.

We visited as part of our excursion organised by the Hotel Hacienda bahía Paracas. Could not resist the cold waters of the Peruvian Ocean and I had to have a swim.! Loved it!
