(Translated by Google) Very nice place, I recommend crossing the bridge, going up and reaching the bee farm, they sell very good honey and explain the process (Original) Muy bonito lugar, recomiendo pasar el puente, subir y llegar a la apícola, venden muy buena miel y explican el proceso

(Translated by Google) Perfect place to go for a weekend visit! I loved the bridge, the view was very beautiful. (Original) Lugar para irse de fin de semana a visitar perfecto! Me encanto el puente muy hermosa la vista

(Translated by Google) Bridge that allows access to the town as well as its connection with the Cañete - Yauyos highway. Its original construction dates back to the middle of the last century and has been replaced by a more solid and secure structure that allows access to the town of Catapalla, where its main square stands out with large trees, a bee farm and a well-known wine and pisco producer. The bridge provides an excellent viewpoint of the Cañete river and valley where canoeing and adventure tourism is practiced. In its surroundings you will find sellers of excellent seasonal fruit as well as honey and local wine. Highly recommended to visit with family. (Original) Puente que permite el acceso al poblado así como su conexión con la carretera Cañete - Yauyos. Su construcción original data de mediados del siglo pasado y ha sido reemplazado por una estructura más sólida y segura que permite el acceso al pueblo de Catapalla, donde destaca su plaza principal con grandes arboles, una apícola y una productora de vinos y piscos muy reconocida. El puente brinda un excelente mirador del río y valle de Cañete donde se practica canotaje y turismo de aventura. En sus alrededores se encontrará vendedores de excelente fruta de estación así como de miel y vino del lugar. Muy recomendado para visitarlo en familia.

The islands are worth the trip on a touristy boat with strangers. If you love birds, penguins, and sea lions it's worth the trip. If you don't love these you probably shouldn't go as there isn't anything else like a cool boat ride or whatever to make it worthwhile.

Beautiful, only downside No enough sea lions and zero penguins 🐧

A good tour and activity. We had to weirdly wait 40 mins for one person for our boat to complete its occupancy. When departed, it took 20 something minutes to reach the islands. Take a coat please, the breeze is extremely cold. On the islands itself, if you have never seen penguins and sea lions, it is a great experience. Interesting story around the bird poo as well.

Be ready to experience a day trip to the desert oasis Huacachina and Paracas natural reserve! 🐧🦭🐦💛

(Translated by Google) It's beautiful to see the habitat of marine animals and birds. A beautiful experience to sail the sea to that place is fantastic, I loved it. (Original) Es lindo ver el habitad de los animales marinos y las aves una experiencia bonita surcar el mar hasta ese lugar es fantastico me encanto.

Nice tour to see some sea lions, penguins and a lot of birds! You might get a bit wet! Must do if you’re visiting Paracas/Ica.

(Translated by Google) A special place to see sea lions and Humboldt penguins in their natural habitat. (Original) Lugar especial para ver en su hábitat natural a los leones marinos y los pingüinos de Humboldt.

The reserve is beautiful. The process of purchasing tickets and boarding the boat for travel is confusing. Thankfully the tour guide was able to the information in both English and Spanish. Visitors should be prepared for about a 15 minute boat ride through open water which can be windy, wet and cold.

Such a raw, beautiful place. Explored the reserve by bike and spotted condors and so many sea birds. Love the La Mina beach to take an ocean dip and enjoy the afternoon in the last part of the bike route!

Absolute must see when in Paracas and should be on the Peru's must see lists. Beautiful views on every view point. Easily accessible on a day trip by bicycle, scooter or car. Just skip the Lagunillas restaurants, they are mostly tourists traps and you can eat much better food for the same price in Paracas.

La mina is such beautiful beach!! The water is light blue and clean. The water is cold but so worth it! They have a snack shop upstairs and bathrooms. Would definitely recommend this beach to anyone who wants to be around natures beauty and a friendly crowd

Beautiful beach against a huge rock wall that is located 30 kilometers from the Panamericana Sur within the Paracas National Reserve. Crowdy if you go during holidays, otherwise is peaceful and enjoyable. Beautiful azure water. if you don't have your own car you have to hire a tour. I recommend going by car so you can manage your own time and enjoy the trip at your own pace

What an incredible adventure! We weren’t ready to see what was in store for us while we drove through this massive desert. Beautiful beaches, lots of history and majestic scenery.

Beautiful beach in the Paracas protected area. You can only arrive by car and the water is not warm but if you are lucky and there is sun it is beautiful.

Part of our tour - a pyramid/ "cathedral" shaped rock in the sea, near the coast. Unusual and beautiful. Views of the yellow sea- cliffs make for good photos too.

Lovely place. Other worldly in appearance in the desert. From the high places you can see both bays. Food in the fishing village is amazing... The sea tour from the Hacienda Hotel was well worth getting up early.

If you haven’t been to the moon yet, this might be very close! Epic sceneries where you could stage your version of mad max 👍 don’t rent a bike cause will eat dust all day long and the hills are steep and the temperature is killing! There are some restaurants in the park and the deliver great food...

La cattedrale itself isn't very stunning in my opinion, but the view of the coastline is quite something. Rent a taxi and tell the driver to bring you to the scenic spots, it's quite cheap and you can move at your own pace. Expect to be done in 2-3 hours.

It may simply be land, water and air, however, the vastness makes you feel insignificant. Interesting place to visit. I would have wanted to spend more time here. Travelled with Peru Hop. Apparently this area plays a significant role in stabilising the ecosystem. The area is also rich in lithium. Well done to the government for protecting it.

Caught by surprise by how beautiful this reserve is! Went by taxi from Huacachina in the afternoon instead of with the tours in the morning and it was a good decision. Less people and beautiful sunset.

Lots of birds and interesting landscapes, worth a visit. We did a bus tour for 25 soles. There's restaurants that serve fresh fish but it's more expensive than the town. The red beach is interesting. Unfortunately you can't get close enough to the flamingos for s decent photo but I suppose it is a nature reserve.

Spectacular tour. Overwhelmed by the abilities of these ancient people. I'm sure the climate wasn't as harsh as it is now, but if it was, how did they survive the heat, lack of plantable soil and remoteness.

Fascinating archaeological site! The Inca Tambo Colorado ruins are very well preserved and give a great glimpse into Inca architecture and history in the coastal desert. The colors of the walls and the structure are impressive — definitely worth a visit if you love history and culture.

For the small entry cost (5 soles) this was an amazing place to visit and see the well preserved incan ruins. Guide Alex Arenas was very knowledgeable and did a great job of making the past come back to life for us!

Amazing how well-preserved this inka complex is. Also, there is a great view to the valey. Unfortunatly, it was closed when I arrived, but local guide offered me a small tour, totally worth it!!

Excellent, very impressive, large archaeological site of the Inca culture. Local information is kinda' limited.

Amazing ruins that no one seems to know about. This is a good thing because you have full access to all the areas. You can still see some of the original Incan paint on the walls.

Came here with Peru Hop. Our guide Edouard was informative and managed our big group very well. The diorama gives a great overview as well.

I come here every year and I love it! They take you far into the dunes and the sand boarding is awesome. I would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Peru its is a MUST have on your list.

Amazing experience, will definitely go again!

Their number won’t work. They don’t reply to any of your emails. And won’t refund your money as well. Don’t even book this! Go with the other option which has more reviews.

Not worth it

(Translated by Google) Unique experience! The driver I had was very rude, I thought the tubular was going to turn over. They had warned us but I didn't think it was a big deal, it made me lose my necklace. Despite all that, it is an excursion that I would do again. Beautiful sunset and fun with soundboarding (Original) Experiencia única! El chofer que me tocó fue muy bruto, pensé que se iba a dar vuelta el tubular. Nos habían avisado pero no pensé que era para tanto, me hizo perder mi collar. A pesar de todo eso es una excursión que volvería a hacer. Hermosa puesta al sol y diversión con el soandboarding

(Translated by Google) Great experience. Desert safari. Definitely try it (Original) Harika bir deneyim.Çölde safari.Mutlaka deneyin

This was AMAZING. I scuba dive and skydive but the thrill and the rush of those rides are like no other. Love it.

On Sunday it was crowded but with many restaurants and a very pleasant temperature in the shade around the lake it was a nice place to be. Don't miss taking a dune buggy ride - the drivers are skilled, safety conscious and will accommodate those looking for a more sedate ride. The dunes are magical.

Although quite touristic, it's still a beautiful spot thay is worth visiting. We also stayed two nights in there which made us connect deeper with the oasis. There are several nice restaurants and activities, so it's really worthwhile.

The only oasis above the desert in Peru.🏜️ It was a truly exciting day.🙆‍♂️ We drove a 4x4 buggy over the sand dunes.🏎️ We got our adrenaline pumping.😁 I felt like I was on a roller coaster as we went up and down dunes up to 30 meters high.🤷‍♂️ We stopped to enjoy the incredible views of the sunset and take another picture.📸

Magical desert oasis! An incredible place surrounded by golden dunes, where you can relax by the lagoon, enjoy sandboarding, or take a buggy tour to watch the sunset from the top of the dunes. The atmosphere is lively, with many restaurants and bars around. Definitely one of the most unique and beautiful spots in Peru!

This was such a fun experience! This was my first time sand boarding and I had the time of my life!!! It was money well spent. I booked it for an hour and that was enough for me, I couldn't imagine being up there for longer and not having a bathroom. I had to pee so bad, I'm surprised that I didn't pee on myself during that hour especially during the buggy rides.

Unbelivable place. Small but cozy with lovely and friendly people except those who wants to sell sunglasses and other staff and walk up to you. Must try the sandbuggy it's great fun.

This is a great place to visit. You can take lot of pictures, souveniers and lot of restaurants. 4 hours from lima and very safe place. If you are interest in going in buggys and enjoying desert activities , please check your health situation.. if you are having heart conditions, back pains ... i will avoid. You want to give adrenline push - enjoy Please enjoy the pictures and videos

Beautiful and large winery! Drive in was a little sketchy on a tiny dirt road, all of the sudden you get to a big gate for the winery complex. We took the 1 hour tour, would’ve loved to do the full tour but they said they don’t have any English speaking guide for that, which is unfortunate, they should’ve specified this on their website. The complex and tour was nice, however the tour guide wasn’t very passionate at all.

I visited Tacama Winery with my parents and we had a very pleasant experience. The wine tasting with their sommelier was excellent with a good variety of wines which were all very good. The sommelier was friendly and explained a lot about the different types of wines and the tasting process in general. The stay in their restaurant was great aswell, with good food and good service. Also the tour around the winery itself, the guide and another small tasting were very enjoyable experiences and I personally learned a lot about wine making, the assortments of grapes and the history of Tacama Winery. Overall the personal is very well organised, the place is beautiful and the service is excellent. Of course their wines are just as good. Thanks for the amazing time

I had the best red wine I’ve had in my life here- el gran tinto. The causas were literally *chefs kiss*. There are different types of tours, and the traditional takes you through the wine making process as well as 3 cups of wine and one of pisco.

Amazing experience! We celebrated the 30th birthday of one of us here during our stay in Perù. Not only the food was amazing, but the wine as well (both the White and Red wines were superb, comparable in taste and uniqueness to our Italians wines). We also received an unexpected present for the birthday! We would like to thank especially Raphael who was super expert in explaining all the different wines and food and made us appreciate 100% the lunch. We really would like to buy wines online to Italy from this winery.

Beautiful winery. The food was overly abundant and excellent. Ordering a bottle of wine with dinner came with custom explanation of aeration and decanting. The tour was insightful but wished the choice of wines for tasting ranged better across the dry to sweets.

A very nice experience of some wine tasting and learning about the wine making. Our guide wasn't the most passionate and could have been more engaging. The wine wasn't to my liking, but each to their own! Come here for a lovely day out and I hope you find a wine that takes your breathe away!

Splendid place to visit in Ica, one of the very first winery in South America. Love the place, which I could share more photos. I was stunningly attached to the guide and histories 😂 without realizing that none of any photo has taken. Food was ok but love the place so 5 star is for “la hacienda” ❤️❤️❤️

It's an observation deck that looks out across some of the nascar lines. It's a very solid construction. There are toilets here and a few vendors.

A perfect pit stop if you’re rolling through on the PeruHop bus—quick, free, and actually worth it. You climb up, snap some photos, marvel at the ancient lines etched into the desert, and you’re back on the road before your legs even start to ache. No overpriced tickets, no tourist gimmicks—just pure, unfiltered history. Easy peasy.

In my opinion: it's more interesting to hear and read about the lines than visiting them in person. If you really want to have a look at them - book the flight, from the tower it is not spectacular at all.

Nice stop off on the way seeing some of the lines up close. I'm shocked they built a road over the one of the Nazca Lines and didn't realise its significance. No fee. Has facilities 🚻 Also a little tourist shop.

Nice view, you can see 3 of the Nazca line figures

Nazca lines their selves are very interesting sight, but as for this lookout... Yes, there are 2 towers for view. But you won't see there much, unfortunately. To see Nazca lines you have to be MUCH higher, than these towers. Drone flights are prohibited there (had to land my one after security notice) and don't allow you to see all terraglifes if you don't know the exact place. That's why I believe the real way to enjoy Nazca lines is excursion with a plane only.

I literally cried being, here it was a place I dreamt going to for many years, wanted to see this world heritage site. Totally recommended, there are tornados all around it's just spectacular.

It's a 7-hour drive from Lima to Nazca and even longer by bus. Nice views from the airplane to see the lines below, but pictures will not come out on phone camera. In other words, you have to be there to appreciate as you won't be able to share the details with others through pix. In addition to the flight fare, there are also local taxes you must pay.

We took a flight with AeroNazca and was very impressed. We got picked up from our hostel and dropped back after the flight. We were advised to take an early flight as the weather is generally worst/windy in the afternoon and this was good advice as the wind did indeed pick up in the afternoon..

Loved seeing this! We did not take the plane to get a view of all of the lines, however we felt that the view from the observation tower gave a fantastic idea and impression of the sheet size of the lines. Perfect!

First, i am impressed with how the lines were made. Next, do watch the video at the airport while you wait (and you will have to wait). Third, be very prepared for a bumpy ride. I do not get air or seasick but this made me feel a little queasy. If you have a UV and polarised filter for your camera lenses, do consider using them. Once the sun is high and strong enough, the pictures do not come out well.

Extraordinary views from above. The only downside was a very long waiting time and nk clear order of who is boarding the plane

Nazca lines are something special. Visit it by plane and enjoy the view. Be aware, planes are small and bumpy but worth it.

We take airplane from Pisco to see the mysterious Nasca lines from the air. It is truly amazing. What an experience!

To get the best experience you probably need a guide who can explain about the design and purpose etc. if you just visit this on your own without any prior knowledge you will not really take in much apart from a few semi restored walls as there are no written instructions to indicate what you are looking at. There are toilets nearby but no shade. You can't go inside the grounds for the most part.

The guide made this place interesting with all insights and stories. It’ll take probably 30 min on-site plus time to get there from Nazca. If you have some spare time, you’ll be happy to visit it and learn about Cahuachi!

The grandfather caretaker is a very humble, kind, old man. Spend some time talking to him. He is devoting the last years of his life to protecting this place. A wonderful powerful site in the middle of nowhere.

We didn’t have much information about the side but our host recommended it. We drove with our own car and had a bit of a difficulty because google maps wanted to take us a road that was closed but with a bypass we made it. It’s easier to take the second entrance when you come from Nazcas. It’s a bit longer but the road is better. The side is really impressive and will give you and additional view about the Nazcas culture.

Amazing history at this place. Very interesting how the time of flourishing and greatest prosperity was 100ad to 300ad and then destruction cataclysmically around 400ad. Fascinating correlation with the history and timeframes documented in the Book of Mormon. Very large pyramids partially restored. Long dirt road to get there

Well worth the visit. I found it peaceful, calm, not too many people... almost a private feeling and peaceful. Very photogenic I found. Scenic. Well preserved. Gives more appreciation for Nazca.

Beautiful place in the desert. Interesting story. Long, hard drive but Worth it.

I like this low key gem. I would add some benches to enable read the information book with a peace in mind and without pain in my legs.

Nice museum with a great collection of textiles and ceramics. Well organised and displayed. Worth a visit.

Fascinating museum with a good range of artefacts. A little tired and in need of maintenance and updating but still well worth a visit.

Worth a visit if you have spare time in Nasca or if you're really interested in culture and history.

Nice museum, it has 2 parts one in the inside and the other on the outside were you can see representations of the Nazca lines. 20 soles the entrance.

Uninterested staff. The entrance is uninviting (since the door is closed). No places to sit to read the extensive map with information in English. If you do sit on a stair (when there is literally no one in the museum), it's not allowed. That's ridiculous, how do you expect us to read the map with information? Some of the pieces in the museum are interesting, if you like artifacts. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Great exhibition with a lot of dated artifacts, a bit pricy (20 soles), the numerous explanations were only in Spanish

Gotta hand it to the Nazca people—building something that still works 1,500 years later is no small feat. These ancient aqueducts are an engineering flex, and yeah, that’s pretty damn cool. But let’s be real: once you’ve seen one perfectly spiraled well in the desert, you’ve seen them all. The tour is quick, the history is fascinating, and if your itinerary has some breathing room, it’s worth a stop. Just don’t expect an Indiana Jones adventure—this one’s more of a casual nod to human ingenuity.

Interesting site to admire technical skills of Inca. You can do a visit in 30 minutes. Taxi drive from city centre cots 10 Soles.

Fascinating and beautiful place. Incredible that it was made so long ago and still in use. The water was so fresh, and cool to be able to touch it - and the fish!

Interesting place to visit, with impressive ancient aqueducts. The only downside is that there’s very little information on-site, so you don’t fully understand the history unless you look it up before. Still worth a quick stop!

It is quite amazing how the ancient people manage this . Most of acueductos are dry. But I like the idea they made. 10 soles for visiting (included other places)

A fantastic piece of archaeology. Unfortunately not celebrated as a touristic destination, with no real notices describing the history etc. we hired a local guide, who was able to explain the structures

Aside from the 17 spiralling holes and the 11km long aquaduct, you can also see a geoglyph in the shape of a puma’s head in the distance and prickly pear cacti with cochineals. As always, a good guide goes a long way.

Incredible place to see intact mummies from the Nazca culture. The cemetery is out in the desert and the feeling of desolation and emptiness is strong. Well worth a visit. Take water.

Very nice archeological site! Had to pay 8 soles per person for the entry and got some interesting knowledge while chatting with the ticket man

This place is amazing and needs to be saved. Already torn to pieces by graverobbers, who threw the mummified remains of the Nasca peoples into the desert. Some have been recreated but all grahe sites have been robbed of the pottery, jewlery, and other "valuables". This is a rare site where the mummies are kept on-site. Please go see this site and promote its protection and welfare. Be respectful and stay in the paths. Only 8 soles to get in and was one of our most memorable places we visited in Perú.

Very interesting place unique in its kind. Jeffrey was a great, friendly guide.

A Nazca cemetery. Great to see how this civilization used to bury their loved ones. Unfortunately all the graves have been looted so there's little left of the pottery and utensils

Remote desert area with around a dozen excavated, and sadly looted burial sites. Mummies are in various states of decay, but definitely worth checking out. There is even still some skin on one of them. Pots and bone fragments are in many of the graves. However, due to local corruption, none of the entrance money is used to preserve the mummies, with only an adobe wall to protect from the wind and a skimpy shade overhead. If nothing is done soon, these treasures will be lost forever and sadly no one in government seems to care.

Pretty interesting place. We went there a few days ago and it is suppose to closed during the pandemic, but you can still get there, park your car, walk around and see the graves. It's an open space in the middle of nowhere, no one was there, we found some trash inside of a few graves.

A beautiful place, a city within a city. The monastery is in very good condition, and the guides provide professional service in several languages. Regular admission is 45 soles, but on the 10th of each month, it's 15 soles. The only thing is that it's not recommended for wheelchair users or strollers (no ramps available)

An amazing citadel, so well preserved and maintained it's unreal. Sometimes I had to remind myself I was not inside a replica at some amusement park but in a real monastery that's full of history. Entrance is S/45, then for an extra S/10 you can get a one-hour guided tour. We did just that and had the amazing Diana all to ourselves. Otherwise you can scan the QR codes along the way and read the information for free. One of my best historical site visits ever!

Visiting the Santa Catalina Monastery is like stepping back in time. The colorful walls, quiet courtyards, and narrow streets create a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city. Every corner tells a story, and the mix of history, art, and architecture makes it a truly unique experience. A must-see place if you visit Arequipa — perfect for wandering, taking photos, and enjoying a calm moment surrounded by beauty and history. 🌺📸

Possibly the hughlight of my visit to Arequipa. I was blown away by the scale of the place, the stories shared on the info panels (in both EN and ES), and learning more about cloisters (who knew the sisters had spousal love for Jesus?) A must visit, just make sure you set aside a good amount of time if you wish to visit every open cell.

45 soles per person to enter. Although I found this to be quite pricey the Convent had plenty of information and we actually spent a few hours here as there was so much to learn about. You can pay 10 soles for a tour guide per person or download their app for free which explains each room. It really was fascinating and worth the visit here.

A very beautiful and very old monastery that gives you an interesting view of the life of the nuns. Many of the old cells seem like the nun living in it might rewritten any minute. The fruit garden was one of my favorite places in the vast, colorful and beautifully decorated edifice. There is free wifi and a guide you can download if you don't want to take a tour guide which you'd have to pay extra.

Go on Tuesday or Wednesday evening to see the ancient lamps and fireplaces lit. It’s open till 8:30pm Tuesday and Wednesday to give a better idea of what it was like to live there in centuries past. Beautiful and well conserved nunnery established in 1579 but most of the buildings are from the 1800s because earlier constructions didn’t withstand Arequipa’s earthquakes. I highly recommend hiring one of the guides at the entrance because they are very knowledgeable and there aren’t enough panels and plaques that explain all the history. Panels are all in Spanish and English but the guides speak many more languages. I heard guides speaking French, German & Italian. Part of the entrance fee supports the current nuns who live in part of the nunnery. There is a café & gift shop of things made by the nuns and purchases support them.

Amazing! Loved the vibes! So much to see and do and eat! From the stores and restaurants to the street food and goods vendors! Felt safe and enjoyed a wonderfully positive but reserved crowd- no one loud, rude or negative.

Try to catch the sunset at outside of the Arequipa Cathedral door - it’s stunning! The night view of the plaza is very nice as well.

Beautiful plaza! I was here the day before Arequipa’s 485th anniversary and festivities were happening. Plenty of restaurants and photo opportunities all around. Along with the basilica next door, this makes for a great visit!

Beautiful and busy day and night. You can see a nice view behind the church from here .

Three of the roads around the square are pedestrian which is nice. Not nearly as touristy as Cusco very pretty at night

Nice plaza, not a lot to do/see, but a beautiful area ☺️

Breathtaking plaza, always bustling. If you can, have a local tell you the lore of the snake carvings in the stones in front of the cathedral.

Infos/Tips: - It is clearly forbidden to take pictures inside the museum - It cost 25 SOL (without guide tip) - When buying a ticket, you will be assigned to a specific hour and a group (Spanish, English or French) - You CANNOT visit the museum without a guide - The visit of the museum take approximately 1 hours (You have the guided tour for 45 to 50 minutes) and then there is another room you can do at your own pace without a guide The Museo Santuarios Andinos is most famous for housing the well-preserved mummy of “Juanita,” also known as the “Ice Maiden,” an Inca girl who was sacrificed around 500 years ago on the summit of Mount Ampato. The museum provides a fascinating insight into Inca rituals, beliefs, and the scientific discoveries related to the mummy, as well as a few others

Just completed the guided tour of Museo Santuarios Andinos. As others have noted, the guide is mandatory. Entrance fee is 25 soles plus tip. Photography is not allowed. I had a private French-language tour since I was the only participant. The museum was crowded, so we explored rooms out of order when space became available. The guide rushed through the exhibition without allowing time for independent exploration. The entire tour lasted only 20 minutes. While the exhibition is interesting, I found limited value beyond what's readily available online (like the Wikipedia article on Mummy Juanita). I understand why the actual mummy isn't displayed for preservation reasons, but paying 30 soles (25 + 5 tip) for pottery, dolls, and textiles felt excessive. I'm disappointed and feel robbed. In my opinion, not worth the cost for what's offered.

Some of the most interesting artifacts I saw in Peru. The main exhibit is no longer exhibited to ensure its preservation, fair enough. However, the museum is very small. 25 soles + guide tip is obscene for such a tiny museum. Even in Europe, £5 would be overpriced for that. The mandatory guide told us some interesting things but the delivery was very flat and provided no better value than if they had put in signs. No photos, presumably because it's owned by a catholic uni.

As mentioned, the guide is mandatory. Entrance fee is 25 soles plus tip. Our guide did not rush and left time for questions but we would have preferred to read the signs. The entire tour lasted only 20 minutes. The spiel did seem to gloss over what was effectively quite a brutal (I appreciate by modern standards) child murder and frame it as a privilege. But I guess that’s a matter of personal taste. I am quoting another reviewer below because I agree 100% with them. I found limited value beyond what's readily available online (like the Wikipedia article on Mummy Juanita). I understand why the actual mummy isn't displayed for preservation reasons, but paying 30 soles (25 + 5 tip) for pottery, dolls, and textiles felt excessive. I'm disappointed and feel robbed. In my opinion, not worth the cost for what's offered.

The entrance fee is 25 soles, and it’s mandatory to visit the museum with a guide. However, the guide is not included in the ticket price, you have to pay extra, which makes no sense if it’s a required part of the visit. The tour goes at the guide’s pace and in the order they choose, so you can’t really take your time to read or explore everything. The famous “Juanita” mummy is actually just a copy, and even though it’s not the real one, they still keep it inside a sort of freezer — which also doesn’t make much sense. Overall, it’s not worth it and feels like a robbery.

N.B. We didn’t actually visit - just wanted to say as we found it difficult to see from the website - a tour is mandatory (free; you pay the guide what you think at the end), you cannot visit and walk around alone. The tours are group tours, in different languages several times a day. I couldn’t see a way to book tickets or view the times in advance online. Also, I had read that Juanita is not displayed for a few months of the year as she has to be preserved. I can’t remember the period but I am certain it wasn’t for September. However when we got there we were told she wasn’t on display. For these reasons I believe it is best to go there in the morning and see what times are on offer for you to visit, and whether Juanita is on display, then you can plan your day.

I waited 15 minutes for the next tour. The guide was very nice and provided a lot of information during the museum tour. Unfortunately, ‘Juanita’ was not there, only a model, but that was fine too.

(Translated by Google) Boca del Río is an ideal destination for those looking to enjoy a spectacular sunset by the sea. The beach is kept well maintained and clean, making it a nice place to relax and enjoy nature. However, improving trash can accessibility in the area could help keep it even cleaner. Furthermore, the provision of biodegradable bags strategically located on the beach would be an excellent initiative to encourage people to collect their waste, thus contributing to the conservation of the environment and promoting a responsible environmental culture. (Original) Boca del Río es un destino ideal para quienes buscan disfrutar de un atardecer espectacular junto al mar. La playa se mantiene bien cuidada y limpia, lo que la convierte en un lugar agradable para relajarse y disfrutar de la naturaleza. Sin embargo, mejorar la accesibilidad de botes de basura en la zona podría ayudar a mantenerla aún más limpia. Además, la disposición de bolsas biodegradables estratégicamente situadas en la playa sería una excelente iniciativa para fomentar que las personas recojan sus desechos, contribuyendo así a la conservación del entorno y promoviendo una cultura ambiental responsable.

(Translated by Google) In Tacna and its summer, a visit to Boca del Río, a very commercial rocky beach in the summer, will always be essential. Remember to leave it clean (Original) en Tacna y su verano siempre será esencial una visita a Boca del Río, playa rocosa muy comercial en época de verano. Recordar dejarla limpia

(Translated by Google) Coastal place, offers a variety of restaurants. I recommend bringing cash as card POS don't always work well. Personally, I prefer to eat in Tacna, but if you don't have options. This would be the place. I served myself a leche de tigre that was very tasty and a fillet of dorado, which seemed extremely thin for the price paid. (Original) Lugar costero, ofrece variedad de restaurantes. Recomiendo llevar dinero en efectivo ya que los POS de tarjetas no siempre funcionan bien. A modo personal, prefiero comer en Tacna, pero si no tienes opciones. Este sería el lugar. Me serví una leche de tigre que estaba muy sabrosa y un filete de dorado, el cual me pareció extremadamente delgado para el precio que se pagaba.

(Translated by Google) It is known that during the holidays the place gets packed... even so, it is a good option since the place has a small market and several services... the beach is not one of the most beautiful I have visited, but it is still not far behind. (Original) es sabido que por fiestas el lugar se llena ... aun así es una buena opción ya que el lugar cuenta con un mercadito y varios servicios.... la playa no es de las más bonitas que visite, pero aún así no se queda atrás

(Translated by Google) First time on this beach and I really liked it. It is different from the beaches I normally go to, where bathing near the rocks is prohibited. However, here people are more cautious and have specific places where they can have fun without much risk. (Original) Primera vez en esta playa y me gustó mucho. Es distinta a las playa a las que normalmente voy, donde está prohibido bañarse cerca a las rocas. Sin embargo aquí la gente es más precavida y tienen lugares específicos donde pueden divertirse sin mucho riesgo.

(Translated by Google) When you get to the seafront, it looks a little different, you ????, where are you going to swim, because I saw pure rocks on the entire horizon, but when you start to get closer to the shore and walk you realize that it is very pretty, in those rocks there is "life", and hundreds of small pools and entrances of faint and wild water that you can choose, to swim with relative care, its sand is thick dark and explore like a child, many also go fishing, and there are no sea urchins or you see them because its water is crystal clear! (Original) Cuando llegue a su malecón,se ve un poco diferente, te ????,donde te vas a bañar,xq veía puros peñascos en todo el horizonte,pero al empezar a acercarte más a la orilla y caminar te das cuenta que es muy linda,en esos peñascos hay "vida",y cientos de pozitas y entradas de agua tenues y bravas q puedes escoger ,para bañarte con relativo cuidado, su arena es gruesa oscura y explorar como un niño,muchos van también a pescar,y no hay erizos o los ves xq su agua es cristalina!.
