Pisco, Peru Hotels, Vacations, Tourism

Less than three hours by bus from Lima, PISCO is an obvious and rewarding stop en route south to Nazca and Arequipa. Although of little interest in itself, it makes a pleasant base – and provides access to the Paracas National Reserve , the wildlife of the Ballestas Islands , and the well-preserved Inca coastal outpost of Tambo Colorado . Just off the Panamerican Highway, it is also a crossroads for going up into the Andes: you can take roads from here to Huancavelica and Huancayo, as well as to Ayacucho and Cusco. more »
