Ultimate Guide to Paracas, Peru: Best Things To Do and Eat 🇵🇪

We have made it to Peru’s glowing coast- a place where golden yellow deserts meet sparkling blue waters. We had ourselves one full day to explore Paracas, and we decided to spend it enjoying a boat tour to the Poor Man’s Galapagos and venturing through the Paracas National Reserve. Visiting a fishing town meant delicious seafood, and we surely took advantage of it all. We tried ceviche for the first time in Peru, followed by a number of outstanding seaside dishes. With full bellies and happy hearts, we concluded our time in Paracas and headed back towards Lima, Peru, the city where all our international travel began. 🇵🇪

You two could start another channel on just food. The way you describe it is an art form.

[@ChadandClaire]

Haha maybe one day we will! Thanks for your kind words George!

[@tdadventures]

Love the poor man’ Galapagos. So beautiful!! We were once poor, but keep doing what you are doing. You will be rich with so many fond memories and money will follow. All the food looks delicious. Stay safe.

[@ChadandClaire]

We couldn’t agree more! We try to to stress about it too much plus having such incredible memories are truly priceless! Thanks for following along! 😁

Omg delicioso ! Se me hace agüita la boca ceviche ,jalea de pescado chupe de camarones,maravilloso una delicia al paladar😋😋😋😋👍🏽😍🙏

[@holleym2927]

The wildlife was absolutely incredible!! What a beautiful place! I cannot believe y'all have been there for 5 weeks already and still have more to see! I can't wait to see what's next! Safe travels!

[@ChadandClaire]

I know right! It has felt like we have been here forever and also like we've just arrived at the same time. Time flies!

[@constellacion]

Me gusta como describen las sensaciones al degustar los platos típicos de Perú. I like how you describe your sensations when you taste the typical dishes of Peru.

[@lisav834]

Amazing places 😍 Claire I love the way you describe the different meals, it immerses me into the food experience with you 😋 thanks for sharing. God bless both of you 🙏🏻

[@Wunjet]

omg! Cheezy Scallops!! Definitely a worthy try!

[@edison222007]

If you’re trying ceviche and tirade to again, I would recommend eating it with a spoon. The reason is because a fork dries out the leche de tigre or liquid while a spoon is still absorbing it so the texture is still like a sponge.

[@ChadandClaire]

Ahh! Fantastic idea! We definitely need to eat it that way next time.

[@georgemckinnon7134]

Wow, the food looks so yummy! Makes me want to fly down to Peru just to explore the foods.

[@reelhappytravellers2691]

[@luisaraujo8697]

Hi guys,...I couldn't agree more, the tiraditos, is a very delicate fish cut and unique flavors, nothing like ceviche, there are both prep. a very different flavors, all together, "it is food for the Gods", "Il mangiare di le Dio" each one in its own right 👍, amazing, magnifique, my respect to both, good choices on every dish,....greetings from the usa,...

[@r.e.1257]

Hi guys, I really enjoy your videos. I recommend you to visit Huaraz and Mancora before u leave Perú, it's easy and cheap to go there from Lima. You'll love these places specially Paron Lagoon. I also recommend u to visit Iquitos, it's a beautiful place. Cheers from Cuzco.

[@ChadandClaire]

:) We will be visiting one of the places you recommended! Thanks for your kind words!

[@linghsaccontratistas6699]

You should visit the Callejón de Huaylas (Ancash), with its snow capped mountains and lagoons, Chavin de Huantar where the pre-Inca culture has his temple. And Lambayeque where are the royal tombs of Señor de Sipan and another estructures of the Moche and Chimu. The fortress of Kuelap in Amazonas department (Moyobamba), in short the is much to see

[@ChadandClaire]

Ahh!! SO much to see in Peru! Thank you for the recommendations!!

[@winnietsai4862]

How’s the safety aspect in Peru right now? I read about protests, general unrest, increase in crime… Have you guys seen any of that happening? Thanks! :)

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Winnie! We have not experienced or seen any signs of this happening. Of course certain areas may have crime. We overall felt very safe in peru!

[@andrewj9831]

Peru is safe overall.

[@jaimexcas]

That was a pricy ceviche tbh, a 40 soles ceviche is considered expensive here in Lima, but it looks like it worth it. You can make tiradito with different sauces, you can even make it with just lime, the difference from ceviche is some ingredients and the cut, that one was "tiradito with aji amarillo sauce" (I prefer the tiradito too, you can make miracles with aji amarillo).

[@ChadandClaire]

We agree! It was definitely expensive by Peruvian standards, but still tasted delicious! Aji Amarillo is such an amazing flavor! We love it!

[@adriantoloza4321]

Planning to stay 2 weeks in Lima, Peru, in order to book with Bus Hop Peru, do I need to book a hotel in Lima, Peru for 2 weeks during my stay, or do I have to book my hotel in different places. Thanks! Your time is greatly appreciated. You're both great!

[@andrewj9831]

Peru Hop has a daily route. In 2019 I started in Lima, and used Peru Hop to get me to Cusco before flying back to Lima. Peru Hop you schedule a seat on the bus based on your schedule, so you can spend 1 day or X days. When I went I loosely planned my hotels/hostels based on my schedule, and I went from Lima to Cusco in roughly 8 days, but can be done in 5 days, I think.

[@adityamukherjee9654]

Hey guys! I will be in Arequipa at the start of next month and thinking about taking the same peru hop route back up to Lima. I will be travelling as a solo guy. Our most people doing this route couples or are there other solo travellers? KZbin makes it seem like its mostly couples 😆

[@ChikoStickAdventures]

at the peninsula can you get there and pay for a tour or just get there and walk around by your self ?

[@mitchellgonzalez3901]

How did you guys get around city to city?

[@irenekonowal1846]

What is your source of finding these amazing places?

[@ChadandClaire]

Hey Irene! We soak up a lot of information from a variety of places. We learned about the island tour through our bus company “Peru hop” and our own research. We then look at reviews on google maps in order to determine restaurants to eat at👍 We can definitely go more in depth about our planning process in a future video.

[@luisaraujo8697]

@@ChadandClaire in Lima the port of Callao-La punta, there's a tour, to Palomino Island, where you literally swim with all these gracious, sweet friendly animals, that you guys, saw some in Paracas, besides the areas are gorgeous, there's an old big Spaniard fortress, and another migrate bird reserve, etc., and as usual 😃👍 great food,... greetings from the usa....
