Day 2Paracas
In the morning, take a light aircraft flight over the ancient Nazca Lines for a panoramic view of these mysterious geometric lines. Visit Paracas National Reserve in the afternoon.
Flight over Nazca Lines
Take to the skies for the best view of the enigmatic Nazca Lines, a series of patterns and pictures etched in the ground, crisscrossing a wide area of flat desert. Marvel at the lines measuring up to 10km (6 mi) in length, yet, remaining perfectly straight. See depictions of birds, insects, and animals only recognizable from the air. Decide for yourself the origin of the lines – who drew the lines, and why, remains a mystery. Current beliefs suggest that they may be part of complex agricultural calendar.
Paracas National Reserve Visit
Head into Paracas National Reserve, a protected area preserving archeological sites, marine and desert ecosystems. Visit the coast to spot wildlife from the shore, groups of flamingos can sometimes be seen feeding in the ocean. Visit an Interpretation centre to learn more about the biodiversity in the area. Continue on to a small museum showcasing pre-Incan archeological history of the Paracas region, home to a variety of human remains including the famed deformed Paracas skulls. Finally, enjoy a lookout over the impressive cathedral rock formation.
