Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Day 1: Lima – Paracas – Ica<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We will begin with pickup from your hotel at approximately 4:00 am, followed by a 4-hour drive to Paracas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon arrival in Paracas, we will head to the El Chaco dock, where we will board modern motorboats for a wonderful tour of the Ballestas Islands, located in Paracas Bay. Here you can enjoy the beauty of nature and observe wildlife, such as sea lions, Humboldt penguins, black cormorants (guanay), flamingos, parihuanas, and various seabirds. Sea lions may even approach the boat, and many penguins can be seen swimming in the water. Thousands of seabirds fly between the islands, and you may see their nests on the rocks. You will also admire the Candelabro geoglyph, while your guide explains the different theories about its origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we’ll head to the city of Ica, arriving at approximately 12:30 pm. We’ll begin with a visit to the Nietto Winery, where the grape spirit known as Pisco is produced. At the winery, we’ll show you the entire artisanal process of Peruvian wine and pisco production since 1856, guided by an experienced winemaker. Here you’ll find antique pieces such as clay jars, copper stills, and a huarango wood press, all of which are still in use today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll then have lunch. After lunch, we’ll visit the Huacachina Oasis, where we’ll practice buggy riding and samboarding. We’ll also have time to visit its beautiful lagoon. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility of the area and walk around to capture excellent photographs. Our transportation will then take you to Nazca, an approximate 2.5-hour drive. We’ll spend the night there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2: Nazca – Lima<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We’ll begin with pickup from your hotel and take you to the airfield for a video introduction to the famous Nazca Lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll then board a small plane to fly over the mysterious lines. The flight will last 35 minutes. You’ll be able to observe up to 12 figures, including animals like the whale, the monkey, the condor, and the hummingbird, geometric figures like the trapezoids, and other enigmatic ones like the astronaut, the hands, and the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the Nazca tour, we’ll head to the bus terminal to board the bus 3:30PM. Before departing, you’ll have some time for lunch and then return to Lima. Upon arrival at the terminal, our driver will be waiting to take you to your hotel, thus concluding the Paracas – Ica – Nazca 2-day \/ 1-night tour from Lima.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>
