Something not right?

Description

Beautiful bay in Paracas with some cool campsites right on the cliffs. Some dirt here so I think you could pitch a tent. You can camp on the little rock cape just next to here- we would have bit there were a few fishermen using the area.

We settled at the top of the cliff above this point, there is a space behind a small hill which allows us to be hidden from the road. Quiet and absolutely superb place. The sunset is absolutely crazy! A few people come here in the evening to see it, but then you will be alone.

We stayed there and had a calm night, slept beside our motorbikes, bit windy. it was sunday, during the day several cars and buses down at the sea, at sunset several tourist groups came down the hill and greet us friendly... spoke with local guide, no problem. before you enter the road to the beach there is still a big poster with a camping sign, so we did as we wouldnt know about the prohibition to camp, but it was not necessary nobody came...

For us it was the best option at mendieta beach. Very amazing cliffs, sunset and a lot to see. At daytime a bit windy but wind calm down at night time…

Up here, there is the perfect spot, well hidden and also protected from the wind. We asked the rangers at the entrance if we could camp, and they said no, it is forbidden in the whole reserva. But we considered this place as hidden enoand no one came to control us.

Very beautiful but I would not stay here. First, a lot of locals come here for sunset and you are very visible to all of them. Peru beaches do not have the best reputation... Second, the wind is just insane! I got dreads in 2 minutes out there!

It is still worth a look if you are in the area though.

Great spot, the dive fishermen harvest seaweed, sea cukes, limpets and octopus.

This is really the best scenic place we found in the Paracas National Park. when crossing the sand field be careful that you do not take the track next to the beach, just use at the last 200 m the one which is going a bit on the right. We could make it with our European standard 2-wheel front driven Camper.

Beautiful spot overlooking water. Very windy when we arrived about 5pm but dropped at night and in the morning. Very quiet . Snorkellers in the morning but no problems. No facilities.

You can camp on the little rock cape just next to here- we would have but there were a few fishermen using the area, they left early afternoon but returned during night to set nets. We had no wind and blue sky.
