Pisco The transport situation is fine. Buses stop at 'el cruce' on the Pan American and then you take a taxi to Pisco. As for hostels in Pisco, I doubt it very much. The town was 80% destroyed. Did you see our blog about volunteering there? The pictures will show you the extent of the devastation. Things change however, and there may well be somewhere open. A good contact would be Stefanie at Hands On Disaster Response (www.hodr.org), the organisation we volunteered with. She may know of any local accommodation open again.
I suspect you will have to stay in Ica and take a day trip. There are local fishermen who may take you to the islands, Hands On managed to arrange a tour for the volunteers so it is possible.
Good luck
caye caulker sorry, didn't mean it to sound like that, you got a much better write up in my actual travel journal! Rum and karaoke is always a great combination,

This is the blog detailing the highs and lows of Trev and Jo's year long trip around the world. We visited 21 countries, took 8 flights (not including one trip in a light aircraft flown by a teenager), countless boats, travelled on more busses than I care to remember, slept in over 200 guest houses, wore the same set of clothes (without changing them) in three coutries, climbed one active volcano, drank many Tiger beers, ate much rice/noodles, rode motorbikes/horses/bicycles, climbed up Macchu Pichu, stayed where Celebrity Love island was filmed.....
It was a blast, but now we are home and ... full info
