Days 34 - 36: Pisco, the Dunes and Nasca

Sorry it has taken a while to blog, the internet has been a bit dodgy!

The Pisco distillery/winery was great fun, the took us on a tour, and then we had a tasting. Small tastes of course! It was interesting to see how they could grow grapes with so little water and vegetation around naturally!

After the tasting we went sand boarding in the nearby sand dunes. These dunes were way bigger than we had expected! We were put in buggies which were driven like we were on a roller coaster, with stops at the top of big dunes for boarding. A lot of fun but we had sand everywhere!

We then jumped on the bus to Nasca. On an early flight in a tiny plane, we cruised over the lines, trying to quickly spot and snap photos of the fascinating lines in the desert made in the pre-Incan times. Sam is still convinced they were drawn by aliens...

The hotel in Nasca put on a 'Pachamanca' dinner for us, which was remarkably similar to a hangi!
