Pisco Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Ok day 2 of the tour although day 1 didn't really exist ! We met As a group - only 8 of us, a welsh couple, nz couple and I'm sharing with an English girl . All seem nice! Arrived in pisco this afternoon after a 4 hour bus trip - it's all so incredibly dry but I suppose the coast is a desert.......pisco still barely recovered from the earthquake...

At the moment we are feeling totally depressed. We are leaving what has been a definite highlight of this trip. 2 weeks of volunteer work in the city of Pisco which was devastated 2 years ago by an earthquake measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale.

This was totally unscheduled and we planned to stay a week. We ended up staying 2 weeks and wou...

Got the local bus from Ica to Pisco and found a really nice little hostel just off the main square. Pisco is not what i expected. It was hit by a massive earthquake 2 years ago which measured 7.9 and lasted 2.5 mins. Pretty much destroyed the town. The hostel we were going to stay at cos it was in the guidebook is now closed because of it. The s...

From Lima we took the first of many long bus rides down to Paracas which is about six hours further down the coast. Paracas is a beautiful little fishing village and our hostel had spectacular views out onto the bay and the Paracas national park - and it cost about a fiver to stay there. Once we had dumped our stuff we headed straight into Pisc...

We got up early to meet all of our travel compatriots on the tour. We all met at the hotel and our new travel guide introduced himself and discussed our itinerary. I´ve had a couple days to try to learn them, though I don´t yet know everyone´s name by heart. There are 2 gentleman from Belgium, though they are not traveling together name Nicu and...

In the afternoon we caught our first public bus to Pisco, although we had trouble getting off the bus as the locals were fighing to get on, desperate for a seat. That night we sampled the local Pisco sours yum yum. Pisco is one of the many towns still struggling to recover from the 1996 earthquake, the government dont have to build new homes for...

Después de la visita en Lima un nuevo viaje de cuatro horas para dormir en Pisco, en una cama por primera vez en tres días, la ciudad de Pisco sufrió un terremoto de 8.2 en la escala ritcher el año pasado y es un alucine ver como esta la ciudad, con bloques o manzanas enteras donde a día de hoy lo único que hay son escombros, o la catedral (dent...

I decided to join up with the vountario group Burners without Borders (a volunteering arm of the annual Burning Man festival) to help rebuild parts of Pisco that were destroyed during last summers 8.0 earthquake that last two and a half minutes! I spent the week working in the trenches (literally as I was digging trenches for foundations and the...

I took a day trip to the Ballestas islands to day. They are described as "The poor mans Galapagos" but I found them visually more interesting than the Galapagos. You Pay 60 Soles(US$20) in Pisco and the next morning at 7:15 am you are picked up at your hotel in a mini van and driven to the fishing village of Paracas, 7 km from Pisco. There you a...

Il peru' nell'immaginario collettivo, o almeno nel mio, e' un insieme di paesaggi, immagini, natura e colore, si' soprattutto colore, il verde lussureggiante della foresta equatoriale, il marrone che cambia in rosso invadente delle dune del deserto sulla costa, i variopinti e gioviali abiti delle popolazioni andine...Lima non e' niente di tutto ...
