Worth agreeing on before you meet

Wildlife Ethics

The Ballestas Islands are a protected marine reserve. Boats maintain minimum distances from wildlife; never ask operators to get closer. Do not throw food overboard. The health of the penguin colony and sea lion populations depends entirely on the tourism industry following these rules.

Reserve Fragility

The Paracas National Reserve is a hyper-arid desert ecosystem that looks barren but is highly sensitive. Stay on marked roads and trails. Do not collect shells, stones, or marine life from beaches. The red sand of Playa Roja is particularly vulnerable to compaction.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Paracas travel guide.
