A Country of Contrasts 

Peru is one of those destinations that evokes a variety of sensations. It can be explored in many ways, even during the same visit, as it offers all kinds of activities: from the most adventurous to the most relaxing. 

Paracas: Aquatic World 

Golden dunes and calm waters shape the landscape around the Hotel Paracas, a Luxury Collection Resort. With sunshine and excellent weather all year round, this coastal destination is ideal for a range of water activities, designed for all tastes and ages. 

Venture into the Sea 

Paracas Bay is the perfect setting for trying out water sports and activities that make your stay more fun and energetic. At the Hotel Paracas, you can start your day with stand-up paddleboarding. Two trips are organized, at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM, with half-hour rides that allow you to enjoy the serenity of the sea, admire the landscape, and connect with nature. Kayaking is another excellent morning exercise, which allows you to see the diversity of birds and marine animals in Paracas up close. It is also a peaceful route that is perfect for families. The minimum age to participate in this activity is 6 years old. 

If you want a little more action, a wakeboarding session promises exercise and adrenaline. Water skiing on a board takes on another dimension in this coastal destination with calm waters and unique winds. The hotel organizes this activity from Monday to Sunday, with early departures at 7:00 AM. Another of the most fun activities that can be done in small groups of two or three people is boat tubing, with the right speed and jumping to guarantee moments of laughter, and several departures throughout the day. For all these activities, the hotel provides the equipment. 

The Luxury of Experience 

If you want to appreciate the diversity of coastal wildlife, a tour of the Ballestas Islands will be memorable. The Hotel Paracas organizes a tour that can be shared (minimum six people) or private (maximum twenty people). There are two morning departures, taking into account the best time of day to reach the islands. You can also opt for the premium boat of the hotel: this more intimate experience also includes other routes around the bay, including longer trips. 

To connect with the sea and enjoy a more intimate and peaceful moment, a catamaran ride is a great option. Trips are organized every day, from morning to afternoon, with a maximum of five passengers on board. And to literally immerse yourself in the coastal life of Paracas, there is nothing like the shell collecting experience on the premium boat: one of the most special activities designed by the hotel. Finally, a fishing escape is offered, which is a guided service for a maximum of six people and is a quiet and introspective way to experience the aquatic richness of Paracas.
