NAZCA
THE MYSTERIOUS NAZCA LINES
Be amazed by one of the greatest scientific mysteries in the New World. There are many theories that try to explain the reason why the ancient Peruvians outlined these drawings of animals (a monkey, a spider and a fish, just to name a few), geometric figures (trapezoids, a labyrinth of straight lines and triangles), and of birds that have been preserved for more than 2000 years under the harsh atmospheric conditions of the desert. Many people say that the lines were part of a pre-Inca irrigation system; others believe that the pampas were an extraterrestrial runway; but the most accepted theory goes that the ancient Peruvians used these lines as an enormous astronomic calendar. Come and visit one of the greatest archaeological mysteries on a bus with us. This will definitely become an unforgettable experience.
PISCO AND THE PARACAS
Sense the warmth of this port city that gave its name to Peru's national beverage, the Pisco Sour. Pisco is a forceful stop for those visiting Paracas, the only marine area protected in Peru. This bay is the refuge for diverse species such as sea lions, penguins, whales, dolphins and hundreds of resident and migratory seabirds.
You will have the chance of watching the incredible beauty of this Reserve from the sea and the beach on this trip, and you will learn a bit more about one of the most important pre-Inca civilisations, the Paracas Culture, whilst at the same time you will feel relaxed surrounded by this wonderful natural setting.
