Itinerary

At the previously scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the bus station, where you will board a tourist bus for a 4-hour journey to the city of Pisco – Paracas. Upon arrival, a representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel, where you will receive detailed information about the itinerary.

At 07:00am, we will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the main port to board the boat for your excursion to the Ballestas Islands. The first stop is a strange figure known as the Candelabro, located on a hill facing the Pacific. Many researchers have conducted studies and concluded different theories. Some believe it could represent the Southern Cross, serving as a guide for ancient navigators. Others think it might symbolize the hallucinogenic cactus plant, or even the activities of farmers. We will then continue towards the islands to observe various creatures, including sea lions, seabirds, and fishing activities. Another interesting attraction is the islands covered in guano birds, where every five years, guano is collected to be used as fertilizer for farming. Afterward, we will have time to get up close and take photos of this unforgettable experience. Finally, we will return to land, and the excursion will end.

By 10:30am, you should be ready to board the bus to Nazca, arriving around 3:00pm.
Upon arrival, a representative will warmly welcome you and transfer you to your hotel, where you will receive detailed information about the program for the following day.

At 08:00am, we will pick you up from your hotel and transfer you to the María Reiche aerodrome. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by the airline staff, and you will register and present your ID to get ready for the aerial excursion over the mysterious Nazca Lines.
We will begin by observing the following figures: the whale, considered the sea deity, the astronaut, monkey, dog, hummingbird, spider, condor, flamingo, parrot, and lizard. Another incredible sight is the thousands of lines that cross the desert in various directions, along with trapezoids and circular lines that may have had a ritualistic purpose. Afterward, we will return to the aerodrome and take you to a typical tourist restaurant for an included lunch.
Finally, you will be ready to return to Lima. The journey takes approximately 6.5 hours, and we will drop you off at your hotel, where our service concludes.
