The rocks which cover the desert have oxidized and weathered to a deep rust color, and when the top 12-15 inches of rock is removed, a light-colored, high contrasting sand is exposed.

Nasca Lines
The Nazca Lines, in southern Peru, are a group of pre-Columbian geoglyphs that extend into the desert sands. They cover an area of almost 1,000 square kilometers and there are around 300 different figures, which include animals and plants. They are composed of more than 10,000 lines, some of them 30 meters wide and more than 9 kilometers long. It is easier to see the figures from the air or from nearby mountains.

Islas Ballestas
Early inhabitants used the islands as a source of guano, a natural fertilizer, which was exported worldwide during the 19th century. This lucrative industry brought wealth and prosperity to the region, but it also led to the exploitation of the islands' natural resources.

Pisco
The town of Santa Maria Magdalena, which was founded in 1572, had a port named Pisco, after the name of the valley in which it was located. This port became an important route for distribution of the liqueur throughout Peru.

Bodega 1615
Bodega San Nicolás, the producer of “1615” pisco, uses its own vineyards to get its musts or grape juices. Their vineyards have their own history as they are located on the same ancient hacienda belonging to the Jesuits who were in charge of the bodegas and where the first piscos were distilled in the XVII's century.
