Barranco district of Lima - Bridge of Sighs, central plaza, visited Pedro de Osmas art museum.
Historic centre of Lima - lots of colonial buildings (government offices, churches). Visited the catacombs in one of the churches.
The beautiful coast, parasailers and not-so-beautiful beaches of Lima.
Paracas - gateway to Ballestas Islands
Ballestas Islands - also called "Poor Man's Galapagos". Saw penguins, sea lions and thousands of sea birds.
More Ballestas islands - in the one picture, notice how many birds are on the one island - it is just covered!
Visited some wineries that make Peru's famous drink, Pisco, and wine. We did a lot of taste testing!
Visited a desert oasis called Huacachina. Had a blast riding in the dune buggy and sand boarding!
The famous Nasca lines. Went to the lookout tower - could see the tree, hands and the lizard. Spent the afternoon at the pool.
More pictures of the monastery - it's so photogenic! The stone basins are where the laundry was done - the water runs through the central pipe and you can fill the side basins by blocking the waterLue lisää
