Review of Paracas full-day tour with Ballestas Islands, Candelabro, National Reserve, dune buggies, sandboarding, price, tips, and practical advice.
“Me and my wife had a wonderful time tackling almost all the sights and experiences one can enjoy in Paracas. Steffi organized everything wonderfully and communication of where to go and what to do between activities was clear. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is willing to complete many activities in one day! Side Note: Convert your cash to soles. It costs 2 soles to use the bathroom at the park.”
From the Inca stonework to the dune fields, and the best of each.
