Paracas National Reserve Mini Buggy Tour at Sunset
From €85 per group
See availability →A Paracas National Reserve mini buggy tour of about three hours: you drive your own buggy to La Catedral, Yumaque Beach, the isthmus viewpoint and Playa Roja.
On the Paracas National Reserve mini buggy tour, you do the driving. After meeting the guide, you put on the cross glasses, climb into your mini buggy and set off across the desert for about three hours, with a pause to watch the sunset.
The first stop is La Catedral, a rock formation partly destroyed in the 2007 earthquake. The route then goes on to Playa Yumaque, a beach two kilometres long whose Quechua name means to collect with the hands. You get twenty minutes there to walk along the sand or simply sit. Next is the Isthmus Viewpoint, the highest point in the reserve, with a panorama over the whole landscape. The group stays for 20 to 30 minutes, waiting for the sun to go down.
The last stop is Playa Roja, known for its reddish sand, coloured by minerals such as magma and a stone called granodiorite.
