Paracas National Park
The Paracas National Park is situated at
a peninsula in the Pacific Ocean and is a wildlife resort for birds and
marine life. Just offshore, at the Ballestas islands, live penguins and
sea-lions, however strange this may seem at this latitude. Apart from
fauna, there are some spectacular rock formations, like "El Catedral".
The Paracas peninsula also gave birth to the Paracas culture, known for
its pottery, textile and mummies.
The Paracas formed a well-developed culture from about 1300 BC until 200
AD, long time before the Inca. In Paracas there is also the Candelabra,
a giant figure etched into a hill, similar to the Nazca Lines. Nobody
knows who made this drawing or what it means, and just like the Nazca
Lines there are many (fantastic) theories about it. Although it is
called the "candelabra", the candle, it is more likely to represent a
cactus.
