Really? I thought it was a pretty good bargain, for what it was!

I really liked Paracas! Some of my favorite stops in Peru were these small little stops with just one or two attractions. So quirky and fun! Ah, this makes me nostalgic for Peru…

I wasn’t sure if I should try to squeeze it in on my Peruvian adventure, especially considering I’ve just been to the Galapagos and everyone bills it as the “lesser-but-still-okay” budget option for seeing sea lions, penguins, and boobies…

But your photos are amazing and have totally reassured me in my decision to make a stopover! Though you have reaffirmed my food concerns, as a fellow non-seafood eater…

Traveling for 3 weeks w hubby around southern Peru. Own TONS of Canon camera gear but trying to travel as light as possible. When you say telephoto lens…..can you give me a specific focal length you used? I have a 70-300is and a 100-400 which is a monster to carry around.
Many thanks,
Rosalie

Hey Aus, from what I recall I think our guide was fairly chatty however we were more interested in taking photos and would often lose focus when the Spanish part was being spoken (the tours are bilingual). I think kids would definitely enjoy it!

Party of 5, one 14 year old, and while this would be more than enough for us ( wife and teenager) trying to keep the other 2 involved. Enjoying your blog! Aus

I just booked at my hostel! I’m sure you’d have no problem arriving on the bus that morning. Good luck!
