Desert and Sea

Golden dunes in an arid wonderland. Tranquil waters. Massive mysterious geoglyphs. That is what awaits you in the area around Pisco some 250 km south of Lima: an oasis of contrasts and contradicting landscapes and a refuge of myths and legends. There, you will also find the hotel Paracas. Paracas is the name of a seaside resort, a peninsula, a bay, a Pre-Incan culture, a natural reserve, and a strong wind that occasionally produces sand storms. It is also the name of a traditional hotel that was constructed as an oasis in the desert and is the perfect place to enjoy the marine life, culture, history, and adventure.

Venturia Office

Venturia has prepared a collection of experiences for you to enjoy Paracas in a unique way. Admire marine wildlife and sunsets from a 52-foot luxury yacht, fly over the mysterious Nazca Lines, or visit the ecological Ballestas Islands sanctuary for an up-close look at sea lions and penguins.

More Details

Ballestas Islands

In Paracas Bay there are three important groups of islands where you can spot marine fauna in its fullest: Ballestas, San Gallan and Chincha.

Discover the Ballestas Islands, several small islands are home to peculiar and diverse coastal fauna: sea lions, spotting Humboldt penguins and a wide variety of guano birds. On the way to the islands you will be able to appreciate the magnificence of the “Candelabro” (the Candlestick), an enormous and mysterious geoglyph carved on the desert soil, making this a morning of archeological and natural history discovery.

Paracas Desert

The Paracas Desert is actually the northern portion of the Atacama Desert, the driest in the world. Its beautiful dunes offer a driving challenge and a memorable landscape during sunset.

Venturia will guide you through an adrenaline-filled experience, sorting steep sand dunes and deep holes in specially prepared 4x4 trucks driven by expert drivers.
