Among the figures, you will see an impressive representation of a monkey, a whale, a spider, a hummingbird, a parrot, a condor, geometrical shapes and hundred of straight lines crisscrossing the Nazca desert.
Following we will head to Paracas, visiting on the way the amazing desert oasis called Huacachina. Huacachina is one of the last oasis in North and South America and it is located in the middle of the sands of Ica desert. In this beautiful lagoon, visitors can enjoy the tranquillity of the place and walk around looking for good photo scenarios. The huge sand dunes that surround Huacachina allow visitors to practice Sandboarding or riding in a dune Buggy in order to explore the desert on an exciting way. Finally, we will continue our trip to Pisco. Upon arrival, we will transfer to your hotel. Overnight in Pisco or Paracas.

For this tour, it is advisable to wear a good jacket or wind breakers as it gets very windy once the boat gets in motion. Along the way we will see the famous figure known as The Candelabro, an enigmatic design etched on the desert floor hundreds of years ago. The Candelabra is overlooking the Ocean, so here you will have the chance to take pictures, as well as to learn about the most popular theories about it. Afterwards we will continue to the Ballestas Islands. The Ballestas Islands are inhabited by amazing marine life, with over 200 types of migratory and resident birds, including Peruvian Pelicans, Belcher’s gulls, Humboldt penguins, guanay cormorants, red-legged cormorants, Inca terns, Peruvian boobies, turkey vultures, among others. In addition you will also see around the Islands hundreds of sea lions resting at the beaches, sleeping on the rocks or swimming nearby.
