Top Tours and Activities in Paracas: Explore Peru's Coast

Paracas is a stunning coastal town in southern Peru, famous for its unique mix of breathtaking landscapes, wildlife-rich islands, and fascinating cultural heritage. Framed by enchanting turquoise waters and endless sandy desert, it’s the perfect starting point for exploring some of the most extraordinary natural wonders on the country’s Pacific coast.

A Glimpse into the Past

This area was once home to the Paracas culture, a pre-Incan civilization that thrived between 800 BC and 100 AD. The Paracas people are known for their remarkable textile art, ancient geoglyphs, and mysterious burial sites, many of which can still be explored today.

When to Go

Paracas enjoys a mild, dry climate year-round, making it a great destination at any time. The best months for outdoor activities are from December to April, when temperatures are warmer and skies are clear. Between July and October, you might catch sight of whales along the coast.

What is there to do?

There’s plenty to see and do, from boat tours to the Ballestas Islands—often called the “Galápagos of Peru” for their vibrant wildlife—to dune buggy and sandboarding adventures in the Paracas National Reserve. Don’t miss tasting fresh seafood at the local restaurants.
