Day 1: We get on a high speed boat and explore the amazing Ballestas Islands, about half an hour from Paracas. Here you will more sea birds and other wildlife than you have ever seen in your life. This sea journey takes about 2 hours.
Part of this ocean trip includes a stop to observe the 500 tall geoglyph called the “Candelabra” which was made by the Paracas culture more than 2000 years ago likely as a navigational device.
We then go to the Paracas History Museum, and will be able to not only observe more than 40 Paracas Elongated Skulls, but some will be taken out of their cases for closer examination, photos and videos. The museum also has a fine collection of Nazca, Wari, Chincha and Inca artifacts.
Then, we go to a rarely visited massive Paracas graveyard to explore the area and see all sorts of artifacts and other evidence of the ancient Paracas culture.
We then return to Paracas and stay overnight in the new and luxurious ocean side San Augustin Hotel.
