Peru’s coastal desert is one of the most arid and intriguing places on earth. It was the cradle of some of South America’s oldest and most sophisticated pre-Columbian civilizations, including the Paracas and Nasca cultures, who produced some of the finest textiles and ceramics in the Americas.

While an overflight of the famously enigmatic Nasca Lines carved into the desert floor is what draws most people, Casa Andina’s unique and original program of activities offers visitors the chance to really experience the desert culture and incredible topography. Casa Andina is the only hotel in Nasca offering a trip by dune buggy over the endless rollling sands of the desert all the way to the Pacific coast, where visitors can view up close and privately the extraordinary wildlife oasis of San Fernando: not only sea lions and penguins, but Andean condors and guanacos – almost unheard of along the coast. With at least 2 nights in Nasca, visitors come away with a deep appreciation of Peru’s stunning coastal desert.
