What an incredible day we had exploring the beautiful region of Paracas with Jonathan as our private guide! From start to finish, Jonathan provided us with an amazing and authentic experience.
Jonathan picked us up bright and early at 3am, and immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable in his vehicle. Throughout the day, his driving was excellent - he navigated the roads safely and efficiently, allowing us to sit back and take in the stunning desert landscapes.
Our first stop was the Paracas National Reserve, where we took a boat out to the Ballestas Islands. Jonathan pointed out the diverse array of endangered marine life, including sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and dozens of species of seabirds. His knowledge of the local flora and fauna was incredibly impressive.
After the boat tour, Jonathan drove us to some amazing viewpoints where we could see the famous Nazca lines etched into the desert floor. It was a breathtaking sight, and Jonathan provided great context and history about this archaeological wonder.
For lunch, Jonathan took us to a wonderful local restaurant that served up authentic Peruvian cuisine and pisco sours. The food was delicious, and Jonathan made sure we tried all the regional specialties.
Throughout the day, Jonathan was an absolute delight to be around. He was friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty of his country with visitors. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable experience.
We can't recommend Jonathan highly enough as a private guide in Peru. His expertise, hospitality, and genuine care for his guests made our day trip an absolute joy from start to finish. We're so grateful we had the chance to explore this stunning region with him.
