The 54th Annual Conference of Executives, also known as CADE, will kick off on Wednesday in the delightful seaside town of Paracas, south of Peru’s capital city.
Organized annually, the event gathers the country’s major authorities, politicians, managers, business representatives and journalists.
Due to the large influx of participants, the Paracas National Reserve —located at short distance from the event’s venue— is the best rest and leisure option for visitors.
Established as a natural protected area by Peru’s Government on September 25, 1975, the Paracas National Reserve has a total area of 335,000 ha.
The reserve is important because it contains representative samples of Peru’s marine-coastal ecosystems. Likewise, it is a major source of income for thousands of locals.
Biodiversity
Paracas Reserve is a privileged place on the Peruvian coast for nature tourism, since it hosts a great biological diversity, especially marine-coastal species.
The area is home to nearly 216 species of birds, 36 of mammals, 10 of reptiles, 168 of fish and a large number of invertebrates, which are at the bottom of the trophic chain in this important place.
Vegetation is scarce in this paradisiacal location, but a few coastal hills can be seen on top of the mountains, which serve as habitats for various reptiles, insects, birds and some mammals.
Karwas Beach
Hosted by Paracas reserve, Karwas beach is a must-see due to its white sand and clear waters.
Thanks to newly opened spots like Karwas beach, around 15,000 visitors visited the reserve during 2016’s major national holidays: New Year, Holy Week, and Independence Day.
Paracas National Reserve is situated at km 245 of the Panamericana Sur Highway, and can be reached in approximately four hours by car.
