This morning, the bus arrived in Paracas at around 7AM. A taxi driver drove me to the pier and I reserved a island boat trip for 8AM and then a tour of the national reserve at 11am. Before leaving on the 8am tour, I had an avocado toast from one of the restaurants near the pier.
During the boat ride, i enjoyed seeing the unique geology of the Paracas shoreline and biodiversity (including over a hundred thousand birds on the islands). After the boat ride, I had a coffee at a cafe and then headed back to the pier to join the national reserve tour. The geology was once again was very unique and the highlight was the one hour break at a beach, where I hiked up to a nearby peak, descended on the far side, and then walked back on the rocky shoreline towards the bus.
After the tour I had a quick lunch/dinner at a vegan restaurant (mashed potato dish) and then headed to the bus station to catch a bus to Lima.
