Paracas: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Paracas is a charming, little seaside town and departure point for the Ballestas Islands or the Paracas National Reserve.
My suggestion
Being by the Pacific, Paracas is the perfect place to sample the local seafood. The seafront is lined with restaurants, each one as tempting as the next. I highly recommend you try the Jalea, a fried seafood platter.
The town of Paracas isn't much in itself but the Paracas desert makes it worth a little detour.
My suggestion
The natural reserve isn't an essential place to visit but it can be a pleasant leg of a Peruvian Itinerary, between Arequipa and Lima for example.
