Today our tour will take us to the marvelous Ballestas Islands. During our journey, we'll make a stop to appreciate the enigmatic figure of the Candelabro, an impressive design etched on the side of a hill in Paracas Bay. We continue sailing, and after approximately 15 minutes, we'll reach the Ballestas Islands, where there is a great marine biodiversity, thanks to the Humboldt Current.

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the Ballestas Islands Tour is the sea lions or sea lions, who capture everyone's attention due to the curiosity of their behavior. They sleep, "pose for the cameras," or simply socialize and live without problems because they occupy the top of the food chain in the area with no natural predators.

We'll also have a little time to enjoy a well-deserved lunch (not included) at the vineyard's restaurants and sample the delicious selection of wines and piscos.

Our last stop will be Huacachina, famous for its oasis, impressive dunes, and delicious Peruvian pisco. In Huacachina, we will venture into the Oasis Dunes and practice exciting adventure sports such as sandboarding and buggy rides, ensuring moments filled with adrenaline and fun.
In the afternoon, we will take a bus from Ica to Nazca. Upon arrival in Nazca, a transport will be waiting to take you to your hotel for some rest and preparation for the next day. Arrival in Nazca is approximately at 10:15 pm.

Day 2: A Journey into Mystery: Flying over the Nazca Lines

The adventure of flying over the coastal sky is underway. In the morning, after breakfast, we will pick you up at approximately 8:00 am and transfer you to the Nazca Aerodrome, where you will board a small aircraft for a memorable aerial excursion over the world-famous Nazca Lines. A guide will assist you until you board the plane.

This flight over the Nazca Lines covers an extension of 500 hectares and has been studied for many years by Dr. María Reiche (According to Dr. María Reiche, who dedicated a significant part of her life to studying these lines, this is the largest Astronomical Calendar in the World). The flight lasts approximately 35 minutes and is the best way to see these fascinating lines and drawings that have intrigued people for years.

Here, you'll see various figures etched on the stone surface of the Nazca desert, representing stylized animals and plants, distributed in an enormous labyrinth of lines, trapezoids, triangles, and spirals that have been preserved for almost 2000 years.

After learning more about these enigmatic lines, we will board the bus to Lima. The trip will end at your hotel in Miraflores at approximately 10:30 pm.

TRAVEL ADVIDE

Documentation

Passport & Visa: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date. Citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, and most of Europe, do not need a visa for tourist visits to Peru for up to 90 days.
Travel Insurance: Consider travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and any high-altitude trekking activities. Is not mandatory for this trip but we EXTREMELY recommend having one.
Vaccinations: Check with your healthcare provider for recommended vaccinations before traveling to Peru, especially for high-altitude regions or the jungle, there, they recommend having yellow fever shots.

Healthcare

Altitude Concerns: Certain parts of the itinerary exceed altitudes where altitude sickness can be a risk. Take precautions and be aware of AMS symptoms; seeking medical advice beforehand, especially if you have pre-existing conditions, is recommended. Keep in mind the altitude changes, especially during treks and high-altitude stays; heed any guidance provided regarding altitude sickness. In case you feel it is really heavy, you can ask your doctor for some pills or just have coca tea, it always helps!
Health Precautions: Stay hydrated, especially in higher altitudes like Cusco, and be aware of the potential effects of altitude sickness. Carry any necessary medications (ask your primary care doctor), insect repellent, and a basic first-aid kit.

Is this tour right for me?

Age Suitability: Many parts of the itinerary are family-friendly, welcoming children of different ages. However, some activities, like the Humantay Lake trek or the Rainbow Mountain trek, involve moderate physical activity and might be more suitable for older children or those comfortable with hiking. In case you have babies, they are welcome too BUT remember to bring their special request and take care of them all the time.

Food and Drink

Pisco Sour: A popular Peruvian cocktail made with pisco (grape brandy), lime juice, syrup, egg white, and bitters. It's a must-try drink that perfectly shows Peru's culinary culture.

Culture

Hand crafts: Always keep some cash with you to buy some souvenirs you may want. They sometimes accept cards but cash is the most popular payment method.

Climate

Weather Variation: Weather across regions can differ; ensure to pack for diverse climates, especially for varying altitudes. For example, Ica y warm and dry, so summer clothes can be good. For Cusco or Machu Picchu, we never know so it is important to always pack a warm jacket and rain gear.
