Places to visit in Paracas:

• Paracas National Reserve. An stunning coastal ecosystem,covering an area of 828 acre and including deserts, beaches, islands, cliffs and coastal waters, all of which are natural habitats to a variety of species such as pelicans, flamingos, penguins, dolphins, sea lions and an infinite number of fish and crustaceans. A one hour boat ride to the northwest is the lovely scene of the Ballestas Islands, home to a huge number of guano birds and sea lions.

• Ballestas Islands. Located outside the confines of the Paracas National Reserve, it is a habitat for a large number of birds and sea lions, all in easy sight from a boat.
This is one of the more common excursions from Paracas.

• Tambo Colorado Archeological Site. A very well preserved Incan community, it might have been built during the time of the Inca Emperor Pachacútec as temporary lodgings for soldiers and home for local authorities.
