Peru Series (3) Paracas, Islas Ballestas and Huacachina 祕魯系列 (3) 帕拉卡斯、鳥島和瓦卡奇納

Paracas is the pier for boats to Islas Ballestas and the Reserva Nacional de Paracas. Since the boat trip starts early in the morning, would be nice to combine with Huacachina and have a day trip from Lima!

帕拉卡斯（Paracas）是前往鳥島（Islas Ballestas）和帕拉卡斯國家保護公園（Reserva Nacional de Paracas）的港口。因為船班很早就開了，所以可以考慮和瓦卡奇納（Huacachina）結合、安排由利馬（Lima）出發的一日遊行程。

Paracas and Islas Ballestas Highlights

• Itinerary: 4am take bus from Lima to Paracas – 7:30am arrive in Paracas – 8am depart to Islas Ballestas – 10am back to Paracas
• Paracas: the starting point of boat trips, and the beach in summer should be nice. Besides this, there is just a main street full of souvenir stores and restaurants alone the coastline – not much to see.
• Islas Ballestas: a nice boat trip to see (1) candelabra geoglyph: a mysterious huge candle figure etched into hills and (2) the wildlife such as sea lions, penguins and birds
• You can buy all bus tickets here – Cruz del Sur (http://www.cruzdelsur.com.pe)
• There are many tour options, and I would suggest to book in advance since most tours provide Paracas bus station pick-up and drop-off service
• Prepare coats and motion sickness pills for the boat trip

【帕拉卡斯與鳥島的觀光重點】

• 鳥島之旅行程：4am 從利馬搭公車到帕拉卡斯 – 7:30am 抵達帕拉卡斯 – 8am 前往鳥島 – 10am 返回帕拉卡斯
• 帕拉卡斯：觀光活動的出發港口，夏天來海灘應該蠻好玩的！除此之外，就只有一條充滿紀念品店與餐廳的沿海道路，沒有特別多可以看的。
• 鳥島：兩小時出海看 (1) 神祕的巨大燭台圖形印刻在山丘上，還有 (2) 自然生物，如海獅、企鵝、鳥類等

• Huacachina: the oasis nearby the desert area of Ica. Some people recommend the sand dune activities, but I’m not interested, so there’s not much I could share about it ha! I simply just walked around and enjoyed the great view of the small oasis.
• Taxi from Ica bus station to Huacachina is around 15 mins for s./10
