Quick Summary: Though Lima, Peru offers much to do in itself, you can also day trip to many of Peru's most famed destinations, including the natural paradise of the Ballestas Islands, commonly referred to as the "Poor Man's Galapagos" for their diverse populations of seabirds and native marine life. Ancient indigenous sites abound, ranging from the unique animal formations of the Nazca Lines (video) to the preserved archaeological sites at Caral, the Americas' oldest city.
