Early morning transfer to the bus station to board a deluxe Cruz del Sur motorcoach for a scenic drive along the coast to Ica. The 4-5 hour drive takes you down the Pan-American Highway passing through arid desert with scenic ocean views. Arrive in Paracas. Check into your selected hotel before continuing to the Paracas Airport where you will do the overflight of the mysterious Nazca Lines. The famous animal and geometric drawings on the ground can only be seen from the air. Scholars differ in interpreting the purpose of the designs, but in general, they ascribe religious significance to them. The flight is usually scheduled for your arrival day for flexibility - sometimes flight times are delayed due to weather.
Return to your hotel for lunch. In the afternoon, you will visit the ruins of Tambo Colorado. Located 27 miles from the town of Pisco, this important archaeological site is the most representative Incan settlement on the Peruvian coast. Made entirely of adobe, it was believed to have been an Incan palace. Overnight at your selected Paracas Hotel.
