"El Candelabro by Kayak" Excursion
A journey to the iconic and enigmatic geoglyph "El Candelabro". It is not known who made them or what was the reason for the gigantic figure, but it is there, on one of the most beautiful coasts of the Paracas Peninsula.
We start very early in the morning at our meeting point at Santo Domingo beach. We will paddle for approximately 1:30 hours until we reach the Candelabro, where we will also discover beautiful places and formations of the surrounding coast. Then we will stop to rest and have a delicious breakfast and then we will start our return trip.
The tour lasts approximately 6 hours in total but the actual paddling time is about 4 hours at a leisurely pace. This is a slightly more demanding excursion than the previous ones, so it is recommended to be in good physical condition and to have previous kayaking experience.

4 days / 3 nights Excursion
Unlike day trips, expeditions allow us to get much closer to nature in the Paracas National Reserve, as we will be spending two days away from civilization and constantly outdoors.
As we venture deeper into the reserve, we will begin to feel that neither time nor destination exist. We will enjoy the present moment and discover thousands of details that would go unnoticed from other means of transportation.
We will be completely self-sufficient and will not have motorboats for assistance. Our kayaks will be our means of transportation and cargo.
