Sailing conditions are great throughout the year, with thermal winds ranging from 14-30knots about 95% of the days between August and early May.
The beach in front of the villa hosts a wide variety birds, such as: white egrets, Peruvian pelicans, sandpipers, white-cheeked pintails, oyster catchers, whimbrels, blue herons, black skimmers, elegant and royal terns, Peruvian gulls, blue & white swallows, falcons, ospreys, black and turkey vultures, burrowing owls, Peruvian thick-knees, and of course, flamingos. The flamingos are seasonal in front of the villa. Also, the bay hosts colonies of dolphins and sea turtles, and is one of the world's larger scallop farming sites. A morning walk will connect you with nature.
Moving around is via public transportation, taxi cab or walking. A taxi cab can pick you from the villa to go into town (about 3km distance) or take tours.

Other things to note
- DINING: Usually there is no need to go to town for lunch and dinner. Just about 200 meters South, walking on the beach, you will find a nice restaurant inside hotel Doubletree, overlooking their pool. They also have a good breakfast buffet. Just let them know you are renting our villa and that you will be paying. You can also rent their kayaks.
- WATER: The villa has fresh water supply, not salty water like several oceanfront places. However, you need to bring drinking water when coming to Paracas anywhere.
