General San Martin, Peru Cruises

General San Martin, Peru Cruise Port

• Nature lovers and photographers should pay a visit to the Paracas National Reserve. There are few animals in the reserve so the main attraction is the scenic landscapes that consist of the red-sand beaches, coastal dunes, dramatic cliffs, and a stone spire called the Cathedral.
   
• One of the adventurous activities in the region involves exploring the gigantic sand dunes of the Atacama desert using 4-wheel-drive dune buggies. This marvelous adventure will reward visitors with a unique desert experience, and stunning photos of views from the dune tops.
   
• Visitors should also take the time to experience boat tours of the Ballestas Islands near Port San Martin. This collection of rocky islands plays host to the endangered Humboldt penguin, and some of the most diverse wildlife sanctuaries in South America.
   
• History and mystery buffs should definitely not miss out on the Nazca Lines Flight tour. This tour takes visitors through the Nazca Lines where gigantic figures of animals, birds, and humans were drawn in the sand by the ancient Nazcan civilization.
