Riding the Waves of Sand and Sea
The choppy Pacific winds near Pisco offer endless opportunities to take to the skies, whether suspended from a kite or a paraglider. The cliffs at Paracas National Reserve are uniquely situated and offer spectacular desert vistas – one of the few places on earth to do this. Kitesurfing is an extremely popular holiday activity for thrill-seekers, as it combines the feeling of surfing with the added bonus of getting some air. Not to mention, it's suitable for novices and experts alike.

Sip and Savour Pisco's Flavour
Pisco brandy got its name from the port that launched this grape-based spirit to the world. One of the best things to do in Pisco, Peru, is to find a fine pisco to savour slowly. There are numerous tours in nearby Ica, the epicentre for many of the finest producers. If this is too much for you, then indulge in the just-as-famous, tangy-sweet pisco sour, a cocktail of pisco, egg white and lemon juice.
Pisco's Ancient Mysteries
The Inca were certainly no strangers to this part of Peru, and you can take in some of their legacies by visiting the outpost of Tambo Colorado, a multi-hued abode complex made up of colourful walls, which are still visible today. Add a touch of mystery by visiting the profound Paracas Candelabra or Band of Holes, a series of serpentine indentations of unknown origin or purpose that stretch eerily for a mile into the desert.
LOCAL CUISINE
Thanks to its location, fresh fish is a must-have when you visit Pisco. Ceviche is fresh fish cured in lime juice with onions and local aji peppers. If you prefer your seafood cooked, then try a dish called jalea – freshly fried fish and crispy yucca, topped off with a citrus, onion, tomato, garlic and chilli-based salsa criolla. A smorgasbord of flavours and textural contrasts is available at many a boardwalk café, especially in Paracas.
SHOPPING
Apart from its namesake spirit, there are other items to tease the 'sols' from your wallet. Alpaca textiles are abundant, and this lightweight, non-itchy wool is also water-resistant, making it ideal for layering during a hike. Or consider a chullo, a wool hat with ear coverings in vibrant colours, perfect for cold winters. Gourmands should look out for pink Peruvian salt, which is mineral-rich and mined in the Sacred Valley.
