|
The South Coast of Peru, south from Lima down to the border of Chile, is a unique area. This dry coastal desert area has served to preserve fascinating pre-Inca archeological sites, including the famous Nazca Lines.
Some towns along the coast also have an African Peruvian influence, with unique music and dancing. Huge sand dunes allow for the sport of sand boarding, particularly near the town of Ica. For wildlife enthusiasts, the coast and offshore islands are home to a wide range of wildlife, including some rare birds, with the Islas Ballestas being among the highlights.
