Introduction Pisco

Pisco is a small fishing town 260 km (3.5 hours driving) from Lima. During the colonial times, Pisco was the main exporter of the national drink of Peru: The Pisco.

Just as in Lima, the air in Pisco is very humid. In the morning it is generally cloudy but in the afternoon the sun will shine and the timerature can rise to 22°C. We have included an excursion to the Ballestas islands in our standard roundtrip.
