NAZCA
Leaving Lima to the
south, the landscape is characterized by extensive desert plains set
between the ocean and the Andes. Here one can encounter various dunes, cut
by fertile valleys where cotton, cane and vineyards among others are
cultivated.
This route has
diverse zones of natural wealth and also archeological vestiges, some of
which of exceptional interest such as the world famous Lines of Nazca;
where the polychrome ceramics of the Nazcas were supplied, as well as the
paracas cloaks (which can be found in the museums of Lima).
In the Nature Reserve
of Paracas, one can encounter, at times, Condors that sweep down from the
heights of the Andes in search of food, Flamingos and a great variety of
other birds. Near this reserve are the Ilhas Ballestas y San Gallán,
where one can observe a great number of Sea Lions, Some Humbold Penguins,
Albatrosses and other sea birds.
Ica is the land of
wines and of 'Pisco', a drink which is very similar to a clear brandy.
