Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, and our last full day of activities. We saw the floating islands, and have dinner with the locals.

Peru Day 5

Peru Day 4
In the morning we carried on from Ica to Pisco to take a small boat out to the Ballestas Islands - the reason we'd been advised to take waterproofs with us. By the time the day was over we were back in Lima.

Peru Day 3
Early in the morning we took a light aircraft over the Nazca lines, and then headed to Ica for our next overnight stay. This one would be in a place where it was encouraged that we didn't leave the premises.

Peru Day 2
We started the day exploring Lima, and finished it with a very long drive out into the Nazca desert for our overnight stay. It was already an improvement over my trip to Egypt.
