Stop At: Islas Ballestas, Paracas 11660 Peru
After picking you up, we will head to the south. We stop in the Asia to have a delicious breakfast. Then, we go to Paracas dock to take a speed boat to the Ballestas Islands. You will definitely enjoy your visit to these rocky islands which are rich in marine fauna with cute animals for instance sea lions, many types of birds and even penguins. Also, the enigmatic “Candelabro geoglyph”, supposed to be used as a navigational guide or probably made by an ancient culture.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Nasca Lines, Nazca Peru
Then, we will go to Nazca province to flight around the famous and enigmatic Nazca Lines. They are a group of very large geoglyphs hand formed/scratched out to make very strong depressions or shallow dirt removals in the dark soil of the Nazca Desert to reveal the very white under layer of rock or clay. These were carved out sometime between 200 AD and possibly 600 AD. There is no written record of the exact dates, but these seem to be a possible time frame. There is no a definitive reason for the carvings; however, numerous theories have been advanced: sculptures to be seen from the surrounding mountains, a big work project to worship they ancestors, or possibly a kind of message for their god so as to have water since the area is dry and it almost does not rain. You will watch the most representative figures such as the hummingbird, spider, monkey, geometrical forms and other mysterious forms.
