Paracas National Reserve Guided Tour with Beach Stops
From €16 per person
See availability →A Paracas National Reserve guided tour of about four hours with round-trip transport: Lagunillas, Playa Roja, La Mina, La Catedral and Supay, with a bilingual local guide.
This Paracas National Reserve guided tour is built around the contrast of the peninsula, where yellow cliffs and a dark-sand beach face the turquoise Pacific. A tourist vehicle takes you to the entrance of the reserve and back, so the four hours are spent looking rather than organising, and a local guide speaking English and Spanish talks you through plants, animals, history and how the peninsula formed.
Each stop has its own character:
- Supay Beach, a long dark beach set against yellow cliffs
- La Catedral, a rock formation shaped by erosion from wind and waves
- Playa Roja, where the sand is reddish and the ocean opens out below
- Playa La Mina, a calm bay with clear water for a swim
- Lagunillas, a beach with seafront restaurants
There is time at each place for photos and for the guide's explanation. Lunch at Lagunillas, with fresh fish and seafood, is optional. Food and the reserve ticket are not included. The outing ends with the return to El Chaco, Paracas. It is not recommended for people with back, mobility, heart, respiratory or kidney problems.
