overview / intro

For the final trip in Peru, we headed a bit south of Lima and Ica. We saw the Paracas National Park and shoreline. We quickly saw some of it the first weekend we were in Peru, so it was a fitting end trip too.

This time however we took a boat ride to see the shoreline, some shipwrecks, and rock formations. There are some islands that are like mini versions of the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador. After the boat ride was a dune buggy adventure to see more of the park from the interior and Instagram worthy beaches and shorelines.

The next day we went to Nazca. There are some of the historic Nazca lines near a highway, so you can climb a watchtower and see them. The rest are quite a bit away from anything, so you need to have a helicopter ride. We opted out of that option this time.

Recommend:

  • Paracas National Park
  • the dune buggy experience
  • a quick stop for the lines

overview / intro

Nothing really of note, but we did a boat tour of mangroves in northern Peru and souther Ecuador, so we crossed the border into another country. There was a crazy bird island with thousands of residents, and lots of clam, crab and mussel farming in the swampy mangrove areas.

oh the places I've been

Below is a list of the places I've been (35 countries and counting). For each country, there are links to the planning and information that I've curated and used. It includes maps, recommendations, articles, and more. For each city or region listed behind the countries are links to blog posts and photos that I have recorded on this site. This is still a work in process, and will be in the future as I continue to travel.
