Playa Roja, Scenic viewpoint in Paracas National Reserve, Peru.
Red mineral deposits from volcanic rocks color the sand along the shoreline, creating a contrast against the blue Pacific Ocean waters.
The Paracas National Reserve, established in 1975, protects marine ecosystems and geological formations shaped by ancient volcanic activities in the region.
The reserve integrates geological features with marine conservation efforts, supporting 200 fish species and numerous bird populations in their natural habitat.
Access to Playa Roja requires following a marked path through the reserve, passing the Interpretation Center and continuing toward Lagunillas checkpoint.
The iron-oxide minerals in pink granodiorite rocks create the distinctive red coloration when ocean waves break down the cliff materials.
