Chip’s Notes
We caught the sunset in Peru’s Paracas Natural Reserve along spectacular cliffs on the Pacific. Desert extends from the mountains to the sea and the view was one of the most spectacular I had ever seen anywhere in the world. We caught this magnificent photo, available in the Vagabond Adventure Store.
