Beyond the views, what makes Hotel Paracas a unique stay in Peru is the incredible access that travelers have to nearby sites. It is just over half a mile away from the Pisco Museum and not even 13 miles from the Paracas Candelabra prehistoric monument. Paracas is often likened to the Galapagos Islands for its variety of marine life, including sea lions and even penguins, making this southern coastal hotel an exciting destination for couples and families.
