Paracas

Paracas is another desert costal town about four hours south of Pucusana. It’s a quant little fishing village overrun by tourist but it still has some charm. There’s lots of seafood restaurant along the beach, fishing boats in the harbor, and an abandoned resort just north of town. The real draw to the area is the national park called reserva nacional de paracas just south of town which was spectacular. The landscape is rolling barren desert butting up against cliffs that fall to the ocean. There were islands, grey and red sand beaches, thousands of exotic birds including flamingos, and a sweet little fishing village oasis where we stopped for cebeche and a dip in the ocean. I would highly recommend checking it out…some of the most amazing coast ive ever scene for sure.
