Lima Paracas / Nazca (03 Days / 02 Nights)

This tour will take us on a comfortable first class bus, on the Lima / Paracas / Nazca / Lima route,
on a program that combines two main circuits: First, the Paracas National Reserve and the
BallestasIslands, in the vicinity of Pisco and the ParacasPeninsula, in the Pacific Ocean, which form
one of the world’s nine most important marine outcrops. It possesses a rich marine fauna composed
of seals, dolphins and turtles, as well as more than 200 species of resident and migratory birds. And
secondly, the mysterious Nazca Lines which are gigantic designs traced on the sand, representing
animals, plants, human beings and geometrical shapes that can only be appreciated on a flight,
from a panoramic light plane. According to Doctor Maria Reiche, expert scientific researcher of
these lines, it would be an astronomical calendar developed by the ancient Peruvians.
