La Catedral- Penisula de Paracas - Pisco

Driving from Limadown to the south, the first interesting city you will find is Pisco.
Pisco gives the name to the national brandy>>Taste it!!!
The main attractions of Pisco area are "Islas Ballestas" where you, with a boat excursion, will be able to see the "sea-life". During this journey, you can watch sea leons, penguins and a lot of other animals, i.e. birds...
Other attractions of Pisco are "Pensiula de Paracas", where you will be able to see in a very short distance flamingos and a beuatifull landscape..
Then, if you have time and are going to miss Huacachina (which is definitely not reccomended!!!) you can take a day into the desert enjoying Pisco's dunes, having a sandboarding or just enyoing the desert' life.
Pisco is 250Km from LIma and has definitely not to be missed!

Great shot of Penisula de Paracas. It looks like Ponta da Piedade near Lagos, Portugal.
