Lets start with Paracas, It is a fisherman little town but there is plenty stuff to do and see. first day it was easy going for me, I went to enjoy a log walk from Paracas town to Flamingo Paracas . As you it say, there is Flamingo. it is a beach that you can see them in their natural habitat.
the second day in a Morning went to do a boat tour, touristy but amazing, Jose the guide was wonderful, I could stand at the front all the tour to take my pictures, Paracas national reserve coasts are amazing for wildlife. Seals, Penguins, Pelican, Dolphins, and tones of birds.
The same day but in afternoon , I rented a scooter to go to the national park. It was fun even if the road are so so for motorcycle, But I was able to enjoy my time there at my convenience, stop where I wanted and when I wanted. Amazing landscapes, great food but expensive as you don't really have choice if you want to eat or buy water.
Evening time in Paracas town is nice but really tourist focus. you can catch amazing sunsets and eat some fresh fishes.
Huacachina Oasis, situated at 10min from Ica city.
This little Oasis town is just something different , I spent two nights there as in Paracas. Night life are really fun in Huacachina, there is plenty of Hostels that are doing parties especially the wild rover, but thanks god I didn't stay there to sleep hahaha..
I stayed in Banana’s adventures, amazing hostel, comfy, great staff, great food and normal Peru prices. I want to do some buggy and sandboarding with them. It was really fun time and come back for the Sunset on the top of the dunes over the Oasis... The sunset was so impressive that I went back on the same dune... the sunset are to die for
What make this experience special was also the people I could met there. Elias and Victor, two Swedish boys, really funny and good vibes.. we spent some times together and we met again after in Arequipa...the next town..
Two nights in Paracas is the way to go in my opinion but not more and Huacachina 2 days maximum , as it is really fun during evenings but during the day there not really to do as Ica the big city next to it is not really interesting but don't skip one of them.
Now 11h on night bus going to Arequipa…
