Golden Shadows Hike at Sunset in Paracas Reserve
From €31 per person
See availability →The Golden Shadows hike in Paracas is an easy to moderate sunset walk of about 1.5 hours through dunes, salt flats and cliffs, with a guide and pick-up included.
The Golden Shadows hike in Paracas leads you to the place where the coastal desert meets the Pacific, on foot and as the sun drops toward the horizon. Low light stretches the shadows of dunes, salt flats and sedimentary cliffs and turns the barren ground gold, amber and ochre, which is why photographers and nature lovers have made this walk popular.
The walk itself is easy to moderate and lasts about 1.5 hours, inside a tour of around four hours in the Paracas National Reserve. A live guide, in English or Spanish, tells you about the place, its fauna, flora and secrets. Pick-up is part of the tour, and you travel in brand new vehicles.
