Day 7: Paracas National Reserve & Nazca Lines Scenic FlightYour journey begins on the Turritelas paleontological trail, where fossil remains of a mollusk that inhabited the Peruvian coast more than 45 million years ago offer a remarkable window into a world long before our own. From there, you'll enter the Paracas National Reserve, a protected coastal marine ecosystem of extraordinary and threatened biological diversity. Within the reserve, you'll encounter the remains of "The Cathedral"; an impressive rock formation shaped over 35 million years by the relentless forces of wind and sea. Declared a World Heritage Site, this iconic natural arch collapsed during the 2007 earthquake, yet even in its partial form, its history and scale are impressive. The route continues to Yumaque Beach, a graceful crescent of shoreline whose name in Quechua translates as "place where it is removed by hand", a reference to the traditional harvesting of small mollusks along its shores. Your day draws to a close at the Istmo viewpoint on the Paracas Peninsula, where a sweeping panorama across the Paracas bays and Lagunilla beach brings together the best of desert and sea in one unforgettable final scene. Following your exploration, you'll be returned to your accommodations in Paracas.Stretching across the Nazca Desert, the story behind these ancient geoglyphs continues to baffle researchers and intrigue travellers today. Created by the simple rearranging of desert rocks, the lines form a wide variety of geometric patterns and animal shapes up to 200 metres wide. Was their function agricultural? Spiritual? Astronomical? Or could they be markers left by ancient aliens? Develop your own theories as you take to the skies over this amazing plateau. A flight over the desert gives you the perfect view of the monkey, the spider, the hummingbird and others, marvelling at the perfect shapes and intricate designs. Once back on the ground, you will be returned to your hotel in Paracas.
Day 8: Exploring the Ballestas IslandsToday you'll enjoy a unique opportunity to witness the marine life found on the Peruvian Coast. Departing from El Chaco Dock in Paracas, which offers a variety of gastronomic delights, you will board the boat and get your first glimpse of "El Candelabro", or "The Candlestick", an enigmatic silhouette that rises in the sandy hills and whose origin is still a mystery. It is estimated to be more than 2,500 years old and served as a lighthouse for sailors. Today it is considered a national Cultural Heritage site. Continuing to the Ballestas Islands, you will soon spot the impressive convergence between the desert and the sea. These three islands are a display of extraordinary monuments carved into rocks by the sea, as well as a diversity of wildlife including endemic and migratory species. The islands are home to mammals, such as sea lions, and 18 species of birds including the Humboldt penguin, the red-footed cormorant, and the guanay, among others. Finally, you will return to the dock, leaving behind this unique dream landscape.
