• Paracas

    Apr 4–7 in Peru ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

    Paracas is one of Peru's best known kitespots so we were really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately we didn't find it that good, there is a spot in the national park that supposedly has lots of flamingos and should be fantastic to ride on, but maybe it wasn't our day, hardly any flamingo, lots of seeweed and several aggressive dogs 🥺. No other humans around though, so at least we had the place to ourselves... The spot in the town itself was also not fantastic so we left after a couple of days. I guess we have been spoiled with great spots in Brazil and of course Aruba☀️☀️.
    A very nice part of Paracas were the Ballestas Islands, also called the poor mans Galapagos. Nicely formed islands with many arches and tons of birds among them tiny Humboldt pinguins.
