South of Lima, the area encompassing the cities of Ica, Nazca, and Paracas offers a wealth of historical and natural wonders. Some 2,500 years ago, Nazca was the site of a highly advanced pre-Inca civilization in both astronomy and ceramic art. The famous Nazca lines can only be fully appreciated from the air, and a similar mysterious drawing can be found in Paracas. Just offshore, the Ballestas islands harbor penguins and sea-lions, however strange this may seem at this latitude.
