A short trip from Lima to see the world famous lines
The Nazca Lines were created by an ancient Peruvian civilisation and are so large they can only be seen from the air. The two-day tour includes a return bus trip from Lima, a flight over the Nazca Lines, a tour of the Nazca-era Chauchilla Cemetery, and one night's accommodation in Nazca town.
Leaving Lima early, we drive to the small port of Paracas where we take a boat cruise around the Ballestas Islands to see marine mammals and birdlife up close and in huge numbers. We also take a look at some ancient etchings in the coastal cliffs including the mysterious Candelabra .
Once back on shore, we make the drive to the charming little town of Ica where we will have the afternoon free to explore the town at your own pace. Overnight in hotel.
Day 2: Ica - Nazca
After breakfast, we will make the drive to Nazca famous for the enigmatic Nazca lines, the best-known relic of the Nasca culture. Arrival in Nazca and assitance to the hotel
The afternoon can be spent in the fascinating museum or cemetery, which offer further insights into the Nasca culture.
Day 3: Nazca - Lima
This morning, you will probably wish to take an optional flight over the Nazca lines in order to unravel the mystery for yourself. You can make out giant figures including a hummingbird, monkey and many other animals.
Flights last for 40 minutes and give a fantastic overview of this wonderful attraction. This is highly recommended, as it is the best way to see all the lines clearly.
In the afternoon we return to Lima by bus.
