Lima,
Paracas
Reserve, Pisco is
a place blessed by nature. There are plenty
of beautiful, clean beaches in the middle
of a vast expanse of desert, with varying
climates throughout the year. The contrast
between desert and sea is captivating,
making it a great spot to marvel in the
beauty, and of course relax before you
start your trip in Peru or even as a finishing
touch for a long and interesting trip.
Located at around 220 km away from Lima
(it is only a 3 hours bus ride to get here),
Pisco is a modest village bussling with everyday
local life. Many people here are dedicated to
handicrafts and industrial fishing activities.
It is also one of the stops recommended as you
head down the route towards the Nazca lines.
In Pisco, just a little bit out of the way, you
will come accross the hotel Paracas beach resort.
From here tours to the Ballestas Islands leave
(the Ballestas islands have been deemed the little
Galapagos of Peru). On this 3 hour boat journey
you will see a wide variety of birds and sea
lions. You leave early in the morning for this
tour and later continue with the equally spectacular
tour of the Paracas National Park. This park
of desert laden with rolling hills was declared
a national park and wildlife reserve in 1975.
On this tour of about 4 hours, you will be taken
areturn by the breathtaking landscape. You will
have the chance to visit the Cathedral; a very
intriguing spot. The cathedral is a natural rock
formation jutting just of the shoreside cliff,
which truly does look like a cathedral. You will
also have the opportunity to swim near the unique
pebblestone beaches found in this area. And,
we can't forget, you will get a chance to sample
the finest of peruvian cuisine. This area is
where typical peruvian seafood dishes thrive in popularity. The most well known of these seafood/fish
dishes is "ceviche". Ceviche has two
special ingredients that make it both unique
and flavourlful;a fresh fish left raw, and lime
juice from limes only found here in Peru. The
strong lime juice actually cooks the fish while
it marinates. And, who can forget the famous
peruvian cocktail, the Pisco sour. This tasty
drink is made with a peruvain grape brandy (Pisco),
limes, sugar and egg whites. Sounds strange but
is considered by most who try it as a yummy treat. |
