Paracas 4k | Drone | Boat Trip | Playa Roja | Candelabro | Desert | Kitesurfing

The district of Paracas (Quechua: paraq) is the largest district of the province of Pisco in the Peruvian region of Ica. The Capital is Además. It was home to the pre-Columbian Paracas culture.

The Paracas Peninsula, south of the Paracas Bay and the Islas Ballestas form the Paracas National Reserve, which was established on 25 September 1975 and has a total area of ​​335,000 hectares. The reserve is intended to protect the rich occurrence of mane seals, blue footed boobies, pelicans, Humboldt penguins and other marine mammals and seabirds. Famous landmark was until August 2007 the rock formation of the Cathedral of Paracas, which was destroyed during the 2007 earthquake in Peru.

On the peninsula there is a large petroglyph, the Candelabro de Paracas, which resembles the Nazca Lines, but is considerably younger. He probably served seafarers as a navigation landmark.

Legend has it that freedom hero General José de San Martín landed on the coast of Paracas on 8 September 1820 as part of his expedition. Tired of the long journey, he fell asleep on the beach. When he woke, he was blinded by the beauty of passing flamingos. Its spread wings in the setting sun were for San Martín the inspiration for the first red and white Peruvian flag, which is also a model of today's national flag.

We went on to a boat trip, have seen awesome kitesurfers and thousands of native animals. We ate perfect seafood, enjoyed the sun and went swimming in one of the greatest lagoon pools I have ever seen. The red beach, fossils and nature were intense. While doing a bike tour we enjoyed everything around us, the desert, the birds, mammals and of cause the ocean with its big waves. On our boat trip we enjoyed the pure calm of the ocean as well as the penguins and the Candelabro. Seeing the kitersurfers kitersurfig was intense!
