Paracas
Paracas Marine Reserve, where white-sand beaches, exquisite seafood and frollicking penguins and sea lions combine to make the perfect weekend excursion.
The Ballestas Islands, just off the shore of the Paracas peninsula, are an important waypoint for hundreds of species of migratory animals. Feel the sea spray on your face as an invigorating morning boat tour gets you up close and personal with sea lions, dolphins, penguins, cormorants and maybe even a flamingo or two. The secluded beaches of the marine reserve may even be enticing enough to keep you away from the region's numerous vineyards and archaeological ruins. |
