Planning your transfer is the first step for an unforgettable experience. At SolyMar Paracas, we care about your safety from the moment you leave home until you reach our activity center operated by certified guides.

1. Premium Category Bus (Most Recommended)

It is the most popular and safest way for travelers. Companies like Cruz del Sur, Oltursa, or PeruBus (VIP Service) offer modern and safe terminals.

• Advantages: 160° reclining seats, monitored GPS, relieved drivers, and strict luggage control.
• Time: Approximately 3.5 to 4 hours.

2. Private Transport or Tourist Shuttles

If you are looking for maximum comfort and personalization, private transport is ideal, especially for groups or families.

• Door to door: They pick you up directly at your hotel or Airbnb and drop you off at the door of SolyMar Paracas.
• Safety: You avoid public terminals and travel only with your inner circle.
• Flexibility: You can request stops at points of interest like Chincha to try the local gastronomy.
