Paracas, Nazca
Etched in one of the driest areas of the planet, the Nazca lines fascinate our attention because of the mystery of its origins and the greatness of their path. Were they an astronomical calendar or an offering to the gods? Despite many studies, the significance of the Nazca Lines is still an unsolved mystery. Enjoy a two-hour cruise to Ballestas Islands, an ideal place to look closely at the highest concentration of sea lions along the coast. Discover a world full of life and see the Chandelier, a huge drawing engraved in the sands of the northern end of the Paracas peninsula that can only be seen from the sea.

We will pick you up at the hotel to drive you to Paracas Bay. There, we will board a boat in our private deck to start our maritime tour to Ballestas Islands.
On our way, we will see the Paracas Bay, San Martin Seaport and the Candelabrum, a gigantic figure of over 2,500 years old and 180 metres long that recalls the famous Nasca lines and can only be seen from the ocean. Once around the islands, among fanciful rock formations that embellish the Peruvian coast, we will find a great biodiversity. We will see sea lions, Humboldt penguins, pelicans, cormorants and many more. After our excursion, we will take you to the hotel. Rest of the day free personal activities.
At scheduled time we will go to Pisco aerodrome. Once there, we will check in, watch an introductory video prior to our 45 minutes (approximately) adventure overflying the famous Nasca lines. From the sky we will be able to see these immense drawings of over 2,000 years old of lines and geometric figures, and be amazed with the representation of a spider, a hummingbird, a monkey and many more. If we have enough time left, we will head for Ica city for a brief tour of the city, a visit to Huacachina oasis and to a local vineyard for a wine and PISCO tasting. After the tour, we will drive back to Lima to take you to your hotel.
At the end to transfer to the dunes where we enter the desert in Areneros Tubulares for a tour of beautiful dunes, first the smallest ones and then for bigger ones, going up and down, with much emotion and adventure. Then we reach a high part with an impressive panoramic view, where we will practice the Sand board (Sky in the sand).
