Do you love the beach, the sun, the feeling of the waves pushing you and all the fun that the sea offers you? Ready your Beach Boys album and play Surfer Girl, because what comes next is nothing less than the three best beaches to surf in Peru.
The Paracas National Reserve consists of the Paracas Peninsula, coastal areas and tropical deserts. It provides a sanctuary of more than 74 species of plants that grows in this extremely arid area, and 216 species of birds, 16 types of mammals, 10 species of reptiles and 193 species of fish. The marine protected area covers about 3350 square meters, 65% is sea and 35% is land and islands. It is considered as one of the richest and uncommon ecosystems in the world. But in all honesty the attraction is not only the wildlife, but the beauty of the desert and ocean landscapes.
I know that knowing Machu Picchu is the dream of many, and even more so to get there as the Incas went there, walking the Inca Trail. The Incas over the years built an elaborate and extensive system of trails, known as the Qhapac Ñan, that connected all of Tahuantinsuyo
Peru offers multiple outdoor scenarios Mountaineering, mountaineering, trekking, boating, mountain biking, surfing, snow sports, rock climbing, paragliding and hang gliding, windsurfing, katesurfing, or deep-sea fishing, sport fishing in rivers or lakes. These are just some of the options for adventure and outdoor sports that can be practiced in one of the most beautiful natural settings on the planet.
In its moment of maximum splendor, the Inca Empire extended its power over several countries in the region and therefore established a gigantic network of roads known as Qhapac Ñan (royal or Inca road, in Quechua), which came to unite Quito (Ecuador ) with Tucumán (Argentina) through the Andes Mountains. Our Inca Trail is just a small part of this wide circuit, which stands out for its incredible landscapes, important archaeological complexes, as well as for its great diversity of flora and fauna.
According to the Japanese article, Machu Picchu stands out as an attraction that cannot be missing among the priorities of Japanese travelers when visiting South America; while Vinicunca is an ideal destination for nature and trekking lovers.
Coca leaf tea for preventing altitude sickness in Cusco in Peru! More importantly, though Coca leaves are indeed the basic ingredient for cocaine, they are NOT in any way addictive (unless you were to consume them by the ton!) Or bad for your health. A good analogy is that coca leaves are to cocaine what poppies are to heroin.
La Mina is a beautiful beach that is located 30 kilometers from the Panamericana Sur within the Paracas National Reserve in the department of Ica. Its weather is very sunny, so it is a very popular site.
If you decide to stay in the capital of Cusco, the document I recommend is the Partial Tourist Ticket, enough to go to four (4) of the best archaeological complexes that are very close to the city.
