How to get to paracas

Paracas is approximately a 4-hour drive away from Lima. Head south for the day, spend the night or stay on board to experience Huacachina, only a short distance away.

You have 2 options to get to Paracas:

Public bus

There are many public bus companies operating the Lima to Paracas route. The only problem is the headache you will have trying to compare prices and after you choose one, having to find the companies terminal since there is no central bus terminal.

Peru Hop bus

Peru Hop busses offer a comfortable and safe trip, with free pickups and drop-offs being included for free. There are also free additional stops and tours on the way to Paracas which will make your trip much better! Make sure to check out the bus passes and decide which adventure best suits you.

Paracas National Reserve

Ballestas Islands Tour

Golden Shadows Trek

Paracas is perfect for all types of travelers. With its relaxed vibes, this beach town has a surprising variety of activities to choose from. The Paracas National Reserve is one of the main attractions here in Paracas. It is the oldest marine reserve in Peru and consists of almost 335,000 hectares of area, with its main function to preserve the marine life ecosystem. You will find many different species of birds here, most sitting on the shore’s edge basking in the sunshine that reflects of the water. This offers some excellent photo opportunities as the desert lands and endless ocean waters provide the perfect scenery to capture that treasured memory on film.

Just 45 minutes away on a boat from the Pacific Coast lies the Ballestas Islands, also referred to as the “Peruvian Galapagos”. With a tour of these islands, you’ll get to see a lot of animals in their natural habitat at just a fraction of the cost! The Ballestas are a must-do for all wildlife lovers as they’re home to thousands of birds and mammals including penguins, sea lions, Inca terns, and pelicans. The islands are protected, meaning you cannot swim with the animals or walk on the islands themselves, but you will get very close to them by boat.

You can also relax on the beach while watching the sunset along the Pacific coast. Just grab a couple of beers and enjoy the view!

Peru is open!

Peru Hop is the only company offering flexible
date change until 2024 at NO extra cost.
