Colca Canyon
Vinicunca
If you’re not used to high altitudes, take it slow! I thought I was invincible, but the altitude hit me super hard. Altitude sickness is no joke – embrace the chill and enjoy the scenery.
Don’t forget sunscreen! I got burned even though it was chilly. The sun is super strong up there and you'll regret it later if you ignore this tip!
I think you should hire a local guide. I skipped this at first and missed some cool historical insights. They usually know the best spots for pics too!
Los Yuyos Beach
I suggest heading to the beach early, like around 8 AM, to snag a good spot and enjoy the sunrise – it's breathtaking!
Bring your own snacks and drinks; beach vendors can be pricey and the food isn't always the best. My advice is to pack a cooler with your favorites!
Nazca
Laguna Esmeralda
I suggest bringing your own snacks and water. The local shops can be pricey and limited, so packing a picnic lets you enjoy the scenery even more
I recommend starting your hike early—aim for 7 AM. This way, you can avoid the larger crowds and enjoy the sunrise over the lake. The views are absolutely breathtaking!
Punta Roquetas
I recommend getting there by 8 AM. The waves are way better in the morning and you’ll beat the crowds on the beach! Plus, the sunrise views are stunning.
If you're looking to rent surfboards, I suggest checking the local shops instead of the ones near the main entrance. They often have better rates and more equipment options
I think it’s worth your time to take a short walk along the coast to find those hidden spots. You might even find some great waves and way fewer people!
My advice is to pack some snacks and water. The beach vendors can be pricey and the quality isn’t always great, so it’s good to have your own stuff.
Los Organos Beach
I think renting a surfboard for a couple of hours is a must-do if you’re into water sports! So much fun and way cheaper than taking lessons. Just ask around for the best deals.
Gocta Waterfall
Laguna Paron
Huacachina Oasis
I recommend taking a sunset sandboarding tour. The light during that time is unreal, and it makes for awesome photos. Plus, it's cooler and less crowded!
