Karamba is a casual resto-bar on the Malecón El Chaco in Paracas, serving traditional Peruvian meals with unique twists. Its terrace on the boardwalk has outdoor seating, plenty of people-watching and sunset views over the bay. The menu is built around fresh local seafood, and reviewers often single out the grouper ceviche, served with fresh corn and sweet potato. Lomo saltado, a mixed seafood platter and a causa stuffed with vegetables round out the Peruvian classics, and the sampler plate is a good way to try several mains at once. Vegetarian and vegan options make it easy for groups with mixed tastes. It is also one of the most relaxed places for a drink in Paracas: pisco sour, a selection of craft ales, sugar-free coconut lemonade and affordable cocktails at happy hour. Karamba is open every day from 11am to 10pm.
