HOW TO GET?
Bus - There are two options, go directly to Paracas and take a taxi to the beach (cost approximately 60 soles) or get off at Pisco and in the Plaza de Armas of the Province to hire a tour
Tours - If you want to avoid driving or having to change to arrive
Tips - You should always wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a brimmed hat. Have several bottles of water and a cooler to protect your food. During the night the wind is very strong, so you need to include windproof jackets and warm clothes in your suitcase. An umbrella will help you protect yourself in the most intense hours of sun.
