A Paracas National Reserve trek in a semi-private vehicle: Red Beach, viewpoints, the Pink Lagoon with flamingos, then a short walk to sunset at Mendieta Beach.

This Paracas National Reserve trek spends the afternoon by vehicle and then on foot, finishing with the sun going down over the Pacific. It is a semi-private service with a driver who knows the route and an official bilingual guide, and it leaves from the Playa Roja Tours office in Paracas.

After the checkpoint at the entrance of the reserve, the stops follow one another:

  • Playa Roja, for photos of the red shore
  • the Isthmus viewpoint, which looks over almost the whole reserve
  • La Catedral and Playa Supay lookouts
  • the Pink Lagoon, where flamingos feed

Then comes the walk. From El Playón you hike about one kilometre, looking at the plants and animals and at a piece of the ocean, until you reach Mendieta Beach as the sun sets. The vehicle waits there to take you back to town. The route is easy and counts about five hours in all.

Photos and videos are included. The reserve ticket, tips and lunch are not. The tour is not suitable for people with back problems or mobility impairments.
