This is a huge protected area located south west of the city of Pisco. The name of this beautiful place is derived from a Quechua word meaning “sand rain” probably due to the strong winds that lash in the afternoon in this place. The reserve of paracas is also very important since in its waters abundant amounts of zooplankton and phytoplankton inhabit, which allows a variety of fish that allow industrial and artisanal fishing. This is a very important activity in the town of Pisco. The Paracas Reserve is located in an area of 335,000 hectares and is considered one of the most important ecosystems on the planet. During our visit we can appreciate the beautiful cliffs and beaches along this tour (red beach, yumaque beach, lagoon).

During this tour we will make a stop at Lagunilla Beach where we can taste the sea food and also take a refreshing swim. We can also see groups of flamingos feeding on the seashore. In order to better appreciate these beautiful birds, it will be necessary to take a short walk to a small viewpoint from which you will be able to appreciate them more closely. According to some historians these were the birds who inspired the liberator San Martin to create the colors of our red and white flag.
