Capital city of the department of the same name – Ica is situated 303 kms. South of Lima. It was founded on June 17th, 1563 by the Spanish captain Jeronimo Luis de Cabrera, Count of Chinchón. In this desert area of Peru we can find traces of the Paracas (700 – 200. BC) and Nazca (200. BC – 700 AD) cultures, Inca ruins and Spanish architecture as well as the desolate beauty of the desert running into the sea.
To walk around an oasis surrounded by sand dunes and palm trees; to stroll along the paths of an Inca cemetery; to study the mysterious designs of the Nazca Lines, to enjoy the sea lions as they frolic on the Ballestas Islands; to feel the roughness of the sand and the beating of the wind in Paracas National Park, all are part of the same adventure: to come face to face with the land of cotton, wine and pisco.
Paracas, Southern Jewels,You will be picked up very early in the morning at your hotel in Lima and we will transfer you to the bus station where you will board the bus that will take you to the Town of Paracas.

Ballestas Islands There will be a very early morning excursion to the Paracas Peninsula, the most important Wild Life Sanctuary on the Peruvian coast. A motorised boat will take you to the Ballestas Islands, located within the Paracas National Reserve, where you will be able to observe Southern Fur Seals, Sea Lions, different types of boobies, pelicans, Humboldt penguins and other sea birds.
On the way back there will be an opportunity to see the “Candelabro”, or Chandelier, a giant figure marked in the sand in the style of the Nazca lines. There will be ample time to take pictures of the Sea Lions and Southern Fur Seals and sea birds. Back to the City of Ica and transfer to the bus station to catch your bus to go back to the Capital City of Lima.
