Don’t miss the Paracas National Reserve

Bertram_R, Apr 2026
The Paracas National Reserve was absolutely stunning and should not be missed as part of a trip to Peru. Our guide, William, provided insights into the pre Incan cultures and ensured that we were able to see all the amazing sites at our own pace. I don’t think we would have had such a good experience going there on our own. It was an unexpected high point of our vacation.

Amazing tour and guide!...

Amazing tour and guide! Our guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. We had an incredible time with her.

The tour involved 4 stops...

The tour involved 4 stops in the Reserve. The commentary was minimal. However, we enjoyed the information that was shared as well as the stunning views. The tour was very laid back and relaxed. We did feel it was overpriced given the tour was basically transportation to and from the Reserve.

Paracas National Reserve in December

Matt_T, Dec 2024
This was a fun day! Logistics were seamless and everything occurred as described. The reserve itself was stunning! This was a new landscape and environment for us to discover and we loved it. Our guide, Brian, looked after us, gave good commentary on what we were seeing, and allowed for plenty of photo ops. The beach walk and high tide line discoveries were fun. We saw flamingos, oystercatchers, black vultures, pelicans, and lizards, amongst other unidentifiable (to us) critters. Recommended for a short, non-water based, activity.

Don’t skip this tour.

Our tour guide, Olenka was amazing. She has a love and passion for the land and told us wonderful stories about its history and her culture as we traveled the landmarks.

advertised incorrectly and a big disappointment

Bob_D, Jan 2024
trip advertised seeing seals, birds and penguins. What it didn't say that the animals were seasonal and we chose the wrong season. I would have picked a different tour if we had known

Great tour of a great national park. We recommend it!

David_T, Jan 2024
Great tour of a great national park. Our guides were very knowledgeable and caring. The national park was very interesting and had good, modern facilities.

Not Much “There” there in Pisco

Mark_S, Dec 2023
Our guide, Juan Carlos, was great. But, the tour company was very disorganized; changing pickup times & locations, not communicating clearly to customers, and actually leaving some of our group who had to be driven out to join us. Now, there’s not a lot of “there” there in and around Pisco; it’s really just a port call to enable cruisers who went to Machu Picchu to reconnect with the ship. So, don’t have high expectations for this port of call. Having said that, a tour of Paracas Reserve is probably the best of many lackluster things to see/do there.

Great trip

Colada_C, Dec 2019
The driver and guide arrived on time and a clean air condition car and we had a private personalized tour through the reserve. We even had time to stop and have lunch at the fishing Village. We saw some young flamingos and took tons of pictures wherever we wanted. I wish we could have squeezed in a quick visit to the candelabras Nazca line that would have made the trip even more perfect.
