At 11:00 am, we'll meet again with the guide to begin the tour of the Paracas National Reserve in a private vehicle, enjoying a 3-hour journey through spectacular cliffs, beaches, and points of interest such as the Paracas Cathedral, the Itsmo viewpoint, Red Beach, and Lagunillas Beach, where you'll have time for lunch (not included) and a refreshing swim (optional).
