Program details
Day 1: Lima/ Paracas
Travel by bus from Lima to Paracas (04 hours aprox) At your arrival to Paracas transfer to your Hotel. Them transfer to Pisco airport. Face one of the world's greatest mysteries while overflying the Nazca Lines.The town, settled besides a small river crossing the desolate plain of San Jose, passed unnoticed until commercial airlines began crossing the desert during the late 1920's. Scientist's attention was immediately drawn to Nazca but the mystery remains unsolved. What exact purpose did they meet. We dont quite know. The truth is they depict coastal, highland and jungle fauna (whale, hummingbird, monkey, spider) as well as geometric figures (lines, trapeze, triangle). Thereafter, weather and air-traffic controllers permitting, fly above the figured-scrapped hills of Palpa. The Palpa Lines are believed to predate those of Nazca, picturing animals and human figures and a prominent deity. The Nazca culture flourished between 50 B.C. and 600 A.D, studies suggesting their society suffered an environmental collapse derived from huarango deforestation.
Day 2: Ballestas Island.
Transport is provided to take you from your hotel to the pier to board the launch for the Ballestas Islands. 45 minutes off the coast of Paracas, the Ballestas Islands attract an impressive quantity of marine animals: chiefly seabirds and penguins, as well as large populations of seals, which swim and jump close to the boat. At the end of the tour you will return to your hotel and them transfer to the bus station to take your bus to Lima.
