I joined the Peru tour in Lima on Saturday evening along with 7 other people, a mix of nationalities - British, Australian, Irish and South African. Went out for a meal and ate Cerbiche, which is a typical Peruvian dish of raw marinaded fish - very tasty and quite filling.
On Sunday we went out to the fascinating Inca/Pre-Inca site of Pachacamac. They have quite a few different remains of buildings there, ranging from 200 BC to around 1500 AD. The best included the remains of an Inca pyramid and the Sun Temple.
From there we headed for Paracas and its national park which is unlike anywhere I have ever been before. It´s very desolate in most places with stark lunar landscapes, but it stretches out to the coast and we went to visit a beach called Supay which leads through an archway in the rock to an impressive rock formation called La Catedral. The tide was coming in very quickly so we had to rush back through the archway and back to safety to avoid having to swim for it!
