Paracas Reserve Full Circuit
Peru's most beautiful coast in a unique circuit
Experience Summary
The complete circuit of the Paracas National Reserve is the essential tour for coastal landscape and nature lovers. Unlike the standard tour to Playa Roja, this circuit visits ALL the most spectacular points of the reserve in a single day.
We start at the Cathedral Lookout (El Arco), pass by the Isthmus of Santa María, descend to the crystal clear beaches of Yumaque and La Mina, admire the unique contrast of Playa Roja (Red Beach) with its crimson volcanic sands, and finish at the quiet Lagunillas Cove, where fishermen prepare the best fresh ceviche.
