Pisco, Peru cruise port guide
Known for the grape brandy that bears its name, Pisco sits on the western coast of Peru's lowlands. Its position at water's edge and proximity to the Andes, made a strategic home for the ancient Paracas people. Aptly named ‘bird', in their Quechua language, for the amazing array of bird species still seen on the rocky outcroppings nearby. Well-preserved is the area's natural history including ancient vineyards in operation since 1684 and elegant tasting rooms for some of Chile's best-known wine varietals. Pisco also is where many adventurers take the opportunity of a scenic flight over the Nazca Lines pictographs etched in the desert some 2,000 years ago. History's treasures preserved in nature.
About Pisco, Peru
Pisco is a port city and provincial capital on Peru's southern Pacific coast, best known to cruisers as the gateway to the Paracas National Reserve — often dubbed the 'Peruvian Galápagos' for its extraordinary concentration of marine wildlife. Large cruise ships dock at Terminal Portuario General San Martín, while smaller vessels may use the marina at Paracas across the bay. The area is also famed for its namesake brandy, the Nazca Lines, and the pre-Columbian Paracas culture.
Pisco sits in one of the driest coastal deserts on Earth, kept mild and foggy by the cold Humboldt Current. Temperatures range from roughly 15–25°C year-round with virtually no rainfall.
