My day trip to Pisco and Nazca line was excellent.  We were able to stop by spot along the way down to Pisco and watch the pelicans hunting their meals around the harbour of Paracas.

Arrangement for the flight to Nazca line was smooth, though it was delayed for one and half hours due to weather. Watching the lines on the ground was a life time experience and very impressive.

Fernando is an excellent guide. On our way back to Lima, he brought us to a local restaurant for a very descent lunch. I had the opportunity of tasting local ethnic soup.

It was the occasion of a “landmark decade birthday” for my wife. Several possibilities were considered; Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Hawaii, Europe (especially Spain, Italy, and France) among the front-runners.  Finally she said, “I’m going to tour Macchu Picchu on my birthday!” And since Peru [indeed, all of South America] was “terra incognita” for us, my wife well knew the value of knowledgeable help, on the ground, and contacted Peru Caral Tours in Lima, letting them know our plans. The most fortunate outcome of that was making the acquaintance, personal and business, of Hilda Rios de la Gala. Hilda was extraordinarily valuable in planning, organizing, and helping us plan and enjoy a visit to her wonderful homeland. From help with hotels, to transfers, to organizing city tours and an extended visit to Cuzco and Macchu Picchu, Peru Caral Tours’s experience and knowledge were of exceptional value to us.
