Av. La Angostura 400 Ica, Peru, 56-256224

We were picked up by our guide and driver for the day, Brady and Jose, for the four-hour drive south to Ica. The main activity for the day was the flight over the Nasca Lines, but on the way we stopped at El Catador bodega in the town of Pisco to learn about how pisco, the beverage, is made. The family there has been making pisco in the same way for over 100 years still using equipment and methods from long ago. We tried their Vino Perfecto Amor, the wine of perfect love, which tasted a bit l...
Ica, Peru alreadypackedA very happy (and belated) new year to you all. My first entry for 2007 concerns itself with the Nazca Lines and how getting there, seeing the awesome sight of the lines, and getting back to Lima can now be done in one day. Approximately 2000 years ago the Nazca Culture - for one reason or another (the theories are endless) - decided it would be in their best interest to carve giant geometric designs, patterns, and stylized animal figures into the surface of a rather flat, inhospitable, and...
Nazca, Peru degraafDay 3. No time for breakfast since our driver came at 7:00am to take us to the Ormeno Bus station. The "Royal Class" is a two-story bus. ($40 US one-way) The seats are located on the second level. You are assigned a seat, but since there were only 18 passengers, we chose to sit closer to the front with a large viewing window. The bus ride is about 4 hours to Ica. A small cheese sandwich, desert and a drink are served to passengers in route. Scenery for the first hour is thru the Lima suburbs ...
Nasca, Peru kupdegraWake up at 5:30- luggage out by 6 and back on the Pan Am by 7 for a long drive south. First stop: La Pilota- very very nice servicios and quick cup of cafe con leche sitting with Dee and Kathy. Weather is....guess what? foggy, but with the addition of drizzle. I can see my breath a bit. I've got 4 layers on, so I am mostly comfy. Most everyone naps on the drive down, even when Julia & Dan are lecturing. We arrive at La Centinela in Chincha Valley about 10 am. Remnants of rammed earth structur...

Ica, Peru wrrobert... sleeping bags are more suiteable for freezing temperature so it was a hot night.. In the future we will investigate our room thoroughly before we decide to stay ...<br><br>Because we didn't want to spend a lot of time in our room we decided to have dinner and enjoy a glass of wine afterwards. In the morning we friendly refused the breakfast in our hostal (they probably didn't clean the kitchen for 3 months and there were cats everywhere) and we went to ...

Ica, Peru avi_einat... and ready to have some serious fun in what seemed to be the middle of the desert. <br> <br>Our hostel, which was more like a resort (beers by the pool, awesome) was also highly recommended for the buggy and sand boarding activities Renee and I were keen to try out. Having conquered mountain biking we thought we would up the ante and really pretend to be hardcore surfer types by taking on the massive sanddunes in the area that can be sandboarded down.<br>So, having ...
Huacachina, Peru eugenecash... New Zealand, where they´ll tour that part of world until there work visas take effect and they start there jobs there. Needless to say this meant that had plenty of interesting ideas for where to travel and things to do, and apprectiated our limited knowledge as well. After a bit four of our group decided to once again go out in search of this evasive disco, but Rachel and I figured we´d stay and talk to our new friends. A while later when it became clear that no one else was ...
