A Paracas sunset trekking tour on foot through the National Reserve, with a bilingual guide, cliffs, wildlife and the evening light over the desert and the sea.

The Paracas sunset trekking tour, known as Golden Shadows, is a walk on foot through the middle of the Paracas National Reserve. It is a walk for people who prefer to feel the desert under their feet: cliffs, open landscape, flora and fauna, and the sun going down over the coast. The whole outing lasts about four hours, from pickup to return, and a bilingual guide in English and Spanish goes with the group.

The hike is also about atmosphere: the guide connects the place with the Lord of the Golden Mountain and his mystique. The route takes in three places on the way, each with its own stretch of landscape.

  • Salar de Otuma
  • El Playón
  • Playa Mendieta

The ride is looked after as well: you are collected at the Playa Roja Tours agency or at a hotel nearby and brought back at the end, so there is nothing to organise on the way there or home. The tour is not suitable for children under seven.
