Multiactivity Program
Paracas & Nazca
|
An excursion that combines natural history with archaeological sites of pre-Inca cultures will enable you to get a closer look at this strip of the Atacama Desert, interspersed with fertile valleys that bring water draining from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean. A marvelous experience that shows you a different side of Peru – an unexpected treat.
|
| Day 1 LIMA / PARACAS |
At 7:30 am transfer to Paracas by private transportation. Our first stop is in Pachacamac, a pre Inca site
located in the coast of Peru close to Lima. Then we will continue to the south and visit the town of Pucusana where you will have the option to learn
more about marine life and the local people. At noon we arrive to ’El Piloto´ Restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon we will continue
to Paracas National Reserve where we will learn more about the local pre Inca culture of Paracas and how they lived in the middle of the desert.
After that we arrive at your local hotel. |
|
| Day 2 PARACAS / NAZCA |
Early in the morning board the motor boat for the Ballestas Islands tour. The Ballestas Islands are part of
the National Reserve. Here one can encounter sea lions, Humboldt penguins and even an sporadic Condor that gets to the islands to feed. On
returning you will be transferred to Ica, one of the most important cities located in the south coast of Peru, where you will have the option to taste
some Pisco and also visit the oasis of Huacachina. After lunch we will continue to Nazca. Option to fly over the enigmatic Nazca Lines (geroglyphs and
geometric lines drawn in the desert). Since their discovery, the Nazca Lines have inspired fantastic explanations ranging from ancient gods, a landing
strip for returning aliens, a celestial calendar created by the ancient civilization, used for rituals probably related to astronomy, or clans who made
up the population and to determine, through ritual, their economic functions. Or a map of underground water supplies. Flying over the area you can
marvel looking at the perfect shape of animals, flowers, plants, objects, and anthropomorphic figures of colossal proportions made with well-defined
lines. Ending the day you will arrive at your hotel. |
|
| Day 3 NAZCA / LIMA OR AREQUIPA |
If the passengers did not fly over the Nazca Lines yesterday afternoon, they will have a second
option to do it in the morning. After that the passengers will visit the pre Inca cemetery of Chauchilla used by the Nazca Culture, located 19 km south
of Nazca city. In the afternoon the group return to Lima or continue to Arequipa. |
