Private Paracas Tour: Red Beach, La Catedral, Pink Lagoon
From €36 per person
See availability →A private tour of the Red Beach and Pink Lagoon in Paracas, with a bilingual guide and your own vehicle, plus La Catedral viewpoint, in about three hours.
Red sand, a rock formation facing the ocean and a pink-toned lagoon: this private tour of the Red Beach and Pink Lagoon in Paracas shows three different faces of the national reserve, with a guide and a vehicle for your party alone. Pickup is at your hotel in Paracas or at the Cruz del Sur bus terminal, and you may also go straight to the meeting point.
The first stop is Playa Roja, where reddish sand, born of volcanic erosion, stands out against deep blue water and golden dunes. Then comes La Catedral, a rock formation worked by wind and sea over centuries; part of it fell in an earthquake, yet it is still a lookout over the ocean.
The last stop is the Laguna Rosada, a recent addition to the route: an oasis among dunes next to Lagunilla 2, with pink-toned water that shifts with the light. There is room to stroll, rest and take photos.
