9 Day Peru: Wine, Sand & Nazca Lines

9 Day Peru: Wine, Sand & Nazca Lines
Tailored for the second-time visitor to Peru or for those who prefer roads-less-traveled, this dynamic adventure reveals treasures typically overlooked in Peru. With Machu Picchu and Lake Titicaca often taking center-stage, jewels like the Oasis of Huacachina, the coast of Paracas, and the mysterious Nazca Lines are underappreciated; no more.

The trip begins in Lima, perhaps the most vibrant culinary capital in the world. Here, you’ll explore the historic core of the city while discovering the world-renowned Larco Museum alongside a professional curator. The scene then shifts to the south, where you’ll stay at one of Peru’s award-winning vineyards and tour the Ica region, learning the history of indigenous cultures, exploring the mesmerizing oasis of Huacachina and setting out on a thrilling dune-buggy ride.

Next stop: Paracas. The shimmering coastline of western Peru is host to incredible landscapes, remarkable biodiversity and the enigmatic Nazca Lines. Enjoy a leisurely cruise along the shores of Paracas, set out on a private tour to explore Paracas National Park where you’ll have the opportunity to observe the Candelabra geoglyph in detail, and cap-off the experience with a panoramic observation flight over the lines.

Wrapping up back in Lima, you’ll explore two of the city’s trendiest barrios by bicycle – Miraflores and Barranco – on a culinary tour that introduces you to the many unique flavors of this dynamic capital, then settle in for a formal dining experience at the restaurant of your choice; host to several of the world’s top-rated restaurants, the only question is where you’ll choose to dine.
