Multi-Country: Latin America

The famous Nazca Lines are geometric clearings in the Peruvian desert, made by the Nazca people, whose civilization flourished between 200 B.C. and 600 A.D. Students will board a plane to fly over the Nazca Lines for an aerial view of the fascinating shapes.

The Ica and Paracas excursion includes a visit to the pisco winery where Peru's signature liquor is made. Students can sandboard or boat across the famous lagoon, "Huacachina", located in the middle of the desert, or take a dune buggy tour of the area. Students will also visit the Ballestas Islands, which are inhabited by distinctive wildlife such as exotic birds and sea lions.
