For those looking for a place to stay for 10 US or less a night, Chaco has several “backpacker” accommodations to choose from. All have hot water and some provide internet service.
This is our personal favourite; because it has great wifi, an English speaking owner, and is next door to the Paracas History Museum.
Another local budget space; both are located one block from the main square and two blocks from the ocean.
Paracas is a sleepy seaside fishing village south of Lima. four hours by bus which will soon be an international destination for wildlife tourists and archaeology enthusiasts.
The weather in Paracas is ideal; sun practically year round with a gentle breeze coming off of the ocean giving this desert oasis on the ocean a constant 22 to 25 degrees C.
We invite you to visit the Paracas History Museum to experience 10,000 years of human activity in this one small and exotic area of the world. Located one block from the central pier where visitors board the boats to the Ballestas Islands.
Tours to Cuzco, Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca are also available: www.hiddenincatours.com
