 Tour
Description:
Extend your visit with a
few days on the little visited coast of Peru, only 300
kilometers from Lima. Travel by "Royal Class" bus -
travel from Lima to the coast is optional - and discover
a whole new world rarely seen by travelers. The desert area
on the Pacific coast has much to offer to visitors. Explore
the region with us or maybe you just wish to add a few days
of relaxation in a nice hotel in Ica. The highlights of the
program are visits to the Ballestas islands, also called
"Little Galapagos" by the locals, and a fly-over the
mysterious Nazca lines.
