Paracas: Las 7 mejores cosas que debes hacer en tu próximo viaje

By Napoleon arcondo

Se encuentra a apenas unas horas al sur de la capital del Perú, Lima, Paracas; sin ninguna duda uno de los destinos de playa más atractivos de nuestro país. Una vez aquí, la aventura, la naturaleza y la cultura se unen entre acantilados, dunas doradas y el océano Pacífico; la propia Reserva Nacional de Paracas nos ofrece ecosistemas marinos y de desierto escondidos en su interior, mientras que en el pueblo se puede disfrutar de buena comida y de un ambiente tranquilo.

Paracas hoy puede ser el lugar ideal para un fin de semana o también una de las paradas en un itinerario por el sur del Perú, y es que Paracas tiene playas, vida silvestre y desierto frente al océano para todos.
