Southern Coast & Arequipa
The Nazca lines are by far the most famous site but there are several great spots to check out in this part of Peru.
Ica is famous for wine and grows the grapes for the eponymous drink of the town of Pisco. Nearby, Paracas has the Ballestas Islands, sometimes compared to a miniature Galápagos.
Transport: There are lots of busses that run south from Lima through this region. The major airports are in Arequipa and Tacna.
