Take flight over the Nazca Lines—a thrilling opportunity to view the mysterious soil carvings from above. Witness diverse avian and marine life at the National Reserve of Paracas and cruise the Ballestas Islands, observing from water the Paracas Candelabra—a prehistoric hillside geoglyph of origins unknown. Savor authentic flavors, textures, and aromas of Peruvian cuisine during a tasting tour in Lima, where every bite tells a story of tradition and passion. Interact with the rich and complex history of the Inca period at the archaeological sanctuary of Pachacamac.
