Islas Ballestas Peru tour
Islas Ballestas Excursion / National Reserve Paracas. 1 day. |
|
Early in the morning we go to Islas Ballestas; the only way
to see the birds like the booby, Peruvian pelican and many others.
On our way to the islands we see a big drawing in the sand in
the form of a “Candelabra”. Untill now nobody knows
who made it. Around the islands we will see dolphins and sea
lions. If you are lucky you see also the rare Humboldt Penguin.
The trip takes 2 hours. After a good cup of coffee we continue
to the national reserve Paracas. Also a Quechua word that means
sand storm. Here we see Flamingos and beautiful rock formations
along the shore. Enjoy the endless dessert in which an important
pre Inca culture developed which trepanned the skulls to define
the social classes. |
Nazca lines flight
Flight over the Nazca Lines. Cemetery of Chauchilla. 1 day. |
|
Usely the flight over the Nazca lines starts early in the
morning. You can observe the huge geometric designs drawn in
the desert and visible only from the air. Some designs represent
a variety of giant animals, such as an 180m long lizard, a 90m
long monkey with an extravagantly curled tail or a condor with
a 130m wingspan. Others are simple but perfect triangles, rectangles
or straight running for several kilometers across the desert.
The flight takes about 30 minutes. In the afternoon we go to
Cemetery of Chauchilla where the mummies are still in their
natural tombs. On our way back to the city we visit a gold and
ceramic procession and there we finish our tour in Nazca. |
After Nazca, most of Peru4U's
customers choose Arequipa as their next destination for their
Peru travel experience. Check out Arequipa for your opportunities.
