Cruise Port: Pisco, Peru

The port of Pisco is the gateway to one of the finest examples of Incan ruins in the country: Tambo Colorado. We drove into the Atacama Desert to visit the ruins then had a Peruvian-style lunch at a hacienda that is at the heart of what was once a large sugar-cane plantation worked by African slaves. Their descendants still live and work in the area. Yes, Pisco did lend its name to Peru's - and our - favourite drink!
