We’ll take some time off in Cuzco to take in the colonial flavor of the town. We won’t miss the highest lake in the world – Titicaca, where we’ll spend some time to meet the Indians on Uros island. From a small airplane we are going to admire the world-famous mysterious Nazca lines. We will also venture to Colca Canyon, the deepest in the world. Then, we will wander through the historical alleys of Santa Catalina Monastery in Arequipa. For a touch of the Dakar, we will see the oasis near Ica and wonder at the huge sand dunes near Paracas. From the boat we’ll observe the National Reserve of the Ballestas Islands where various protected animals are living: sea lions, albatrosses and penguins, are inhabiting this natural reserve.
