Step back in time on a guided tour of Tambo Colorado, a beautifully preserved Inca fortress featuring the high priest’s chambers complete with sacrificial altar. And this moderate half-day tour showcases the historic Pisco Valley where desert dunes contrast with verdant farming villages where centuries-old irrigation techniques are still employed.

Thank you to Alexander for a wonderful tour fron San Martin port to Tambo Colorado. My friend and I spoke to Alexander at the Port on the morning of our excursion. The tour was everything he promised. Alexander is very knowledgeable in his area's ancient history and speaks English fluently. He is a very personable young man and I could not fault any of the day. Afterwards he dropped us in Paracas where we had a lovely meal at one of the restaurants that he suggested. From there we got our ships shuttle back to the port. Tambo Colorado is a must do when you are in the area

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.
