    This fisher town itself has little to offer to tourists and is best used only as a starting point for a trip to the [wiki=46bc8a75e5706454b866d33416dc3615]Ballestas Islands[/wiki] and possibly the nearby salt desert and national reserve, [wiki=277e1440628b2fef199aca97ab610c3a]Paracas[/wiki]. Pisco was the tourist hub of the area prior to the earthquake in 2007 but has not completely bounced back from that. Most businesses moved to Paracas, but enough remained to still provide a comfortable stay.

    • By Bus

      Most of the buses on the [wiki=f02c9ff80003cb756d97c0da65ed6cbd]Pan-american Highway[/wiki] from [wiki=0cb9cde516c38ed84dc1f3f2b5556ed3]Lima[/wiki] to [wiki=967f96d98b992e7efffc9116266e7dbc]Ica[/wiki], [wiki=b394f79fea373f99adf31fcbf498ca51]Nazca[/wiki], [wiki=171a98f4722267176bd0fe81f8980074]Arequipa[/wiki] etc. won't leave this road, dropping you of at the junction about 4 miles outside town, from where you can easily pick up a local bus or taxi (S./10 as of May 2014).

      Some buses from [wiki=0cb9cde516c38ed84dc1f3f2b5556ed3]Lima[/wiki] (3-4hrs) do go in to town and there are local buses to [wiki=967f96d98b992e7efffc9116266e7dbc]Ica[/wiki].

    • By Taxi

      You may be able to negotiate a taxi to take you from [wiki=0cb9cde516c38ed84dc1f3f2b5556ed3]Lima[/wiki] to Pisco for around 200 soles. This can be a lot more comfortable especially if you are going to arrive in the dark.

  • filter_dramaGet around
    There are plenty of mototaxis to take you around the town.
  • filter_dramaSee
    On the west side of town Pisco is bordered by the Pacific Ocean and they have built a large walking area and nice playgrounds for children. There are also monuments and military replicas (torpedoes, helicopters, etc).
  • filter_dramaDo
    Take a boat trip to the [wiki=46bc8a75e5706454b866d33416dc3615]Ballestas Islands[/wiki] to see the sea lions and hillside Candelabra. You can usually add a tour of the Paracas National Reserve for a small extra price over the Ballestas trip. The reserve has an information center, a small fishing village and some rather dramatic sea-shore cliffs. It will not be the highlight of your trip, but it may be worth the trouble and the money. Tour of both was S./45 plus S./17 entrance fees as of May 2014

    Los Tres Duendes - Av San Martin 188 - Smoothie and Juice Bar with good food as well. Huge, delicious blended drinks, sandwiches, crepes, desserts, yogurt/fruit salads.
  • filter_dramaDrink
    You should try Pisco, which is the national drink of Peru, and as the name implies, was first made in this city. Pisco sour is an excellent Peruvian invention too. You might be able to try both of them in Chile, but the Chilean recipes are adapted to different tastes.

  • filter_dramaStay Safe
    The "tourist safe" area seems to be the 2-block radius around the Plaza de Armas. Paracas seems safe as well.

    Numerous locals warned us about watching our bags, and even just walking in the market area and beach. Tuk tuks are recommended for safe, cheap travel through the sketchier parts of town.

    • By Bus

      A few buses a day go to [wiki=b0da60ba07e003517a252713141456bc]Ayacucho[/wiki] in the Andes, passing the Inca ruins at Tambo Colorado 2 hours away. To get one of these buses you have to catch a taxi (10-12 Soles) up to San Clemente, a scruffy junction of a town; watch your bags. Two bus companies go to [wiki=b0da60ba07e003517a252713141456bc]Ayacucho[/wiki], but Molina is recommended over the other. It provides night service, with buses leaving at 11:30p, 12:00am and 12:30am. The trip takes 7 hours. For semi-cama service, 40 Soles.

      A taxi to Paracas was S./15 for two as of May 2014
