Review of Paracas’ Ballestas Islands and National Reserve tour, with sea lions, penguins, desert beaches, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“The tour to the Islas Ballestas was a little bit chaotic, especially the way to the boat. The guide definitely did his best to entertain us all. After a break we had private visit to the National Reserve. Our guide knew a lot about the history and the places we visited. I loved the second part of the tour the most.”

Review of the Ballestas Islands and Paracas Reserve tour, with sea lions, penguins, flamingos, red sands, Lagunillas Beach, and practical tips.
“El tour se divide en 2 partes: primero fuimos en speedboat a las Islas Ballestas, donde vimos pingüinos y lobos marinos y El Candelabro. Tras volver a Paracas, nos recogieron para la segunda parte a la Reserva Natural de Paracas, donde hicimos paradas en varios spots para ver el paisaje. En la penúltima parada había opción de bañarse en el mar y en la última podías comer en un restaurante frente al mar. El tiempo para la parada de la comida fue muy limitado, debería ser algo más de tiempo. Andrea, la chica de la agencia fue muy amable con nosotros en todo momento, gracias!”

Drive a private mini buggy through Paracas National Reserve, stopping at Yumaque Beach, Red Beach, and desert viewpoints.
“Liked most: Guide offered to take pictures so we had an impromptu photoshoot. Easy to learn how to drive on it. Improvement: a bit bigger buggy. A bit of an explanation at each stop and why it's interesting/special about it would've been appreciated. More control over the group, one driver decided to overpass another and went into the next lane while on the actual road, could've been dangerous.”
