Ballestas Islands:
The Paracas National Reserve was established as a protected area in 1975 to preserve the unique ecosystem of the Paracas Peninsula and the marine biodiversity of the nearby Pacific Ocean. It has become a popular tourist destination for these reasons: its stunning natural landscapes, such as the red sand beaches, towering cliffs, and turquoise waters, offer breathtaking views and great opportunities for outdoor activities
Julio C. Tello Museum:
The museum is named after Julio C. Tello, a prominent Peruvian archaeologist and anthropologist who made significant contributions to archaeology in Peru. The Julio C. Tello Museum houses a wide range of archaeological artifacts, anthropological exhibits, and historical materials. Visitors can look through displays of pre-Columbian artifacts such as ceramics, textiles, stone tools, and metalwork. The museum sheds light on ancient Peruvian civilizations’ cultural practices, social structures, and artistic achievements.
