Paracas, Ica, Nazca
Lines
Paracas, 150 miles south of Lima, is home to Peru's
largest coastal wildlife sanctuary. Within it are the Ballestas
Islands, home to thousands of resident and migratory sea birds,
including pelicans, boobies, cormorants, terns and penguins that
share their habitat with herds of sea lions and fur seals. In the
summer, condors and flamingoes are also frequent visitors to the
bayshore. Paracas boasts a charming hotel that is ideal for a
quick stopover or a weekend getaway.
An hour's drive along the Pan American
highway takes the visitor south to Ica, a verdant oasis and home
of Peru's famous pisco grape brandy. Ica also houses a fine
archaeological museum and two of Peru’s finest resort hotels.
Further
south lies Nazca, site of the world famous Nazca Lines. These
giant animal and geometric figures were etched on the desert sands
by Nazca people 1,500 years ago. While they can be seen from
ground towers, the Nazca Lines are best viewed from the air.
Airstrips in both Ica and Nazca permit aerial viewing of the Nazca
Lines on short, comfortable flights.
