I wouldn't recommend this tour because of the cost. This place is about 50 mins to an hour from Paracas. There is a little museum at the entrance and ample parking. Perhaps you can just take a hotel car there instead of paying this absurd amount for this tour. As a traveler, you would have experiences where you feel ripped off. This was one of them for me. On the up side, our driver was nice and our guide was fantastic. He entertained us with details of Tambo Colorado and Peru on the way there and back. But again, I do not recommend purchasing this tour.
