about Pisco

Pisco, is a city in Peru. It is only 28 feet above sea level. Pisco originally prospered because of its nearby vineyards, and now the name of the town is on Peru’s Brandy, “Pisco Sour”.

The area is normally visited because of the concentration of marine animals and birds at the Paracas National Reserve, or the Peruvian Galapagos. At the reserve there are the Ballestas Islands, which are off limits to people, but boat tours can get close. On the islands there are tons of birds, including pelicans, flamingos, penguins, cormorants, red boobies and terns. There are also sea lions, turtles, dolphins, and whales.

This wildlife is definitely something to boast about, but Pisco origins are from one of the major ancient civilizations in Peru, the Paracas. Due to its ease of access, and its crossroads to the Andes the Spanish considered making Pisco the capital, before they decided on Lima.

In the city is the Plaza de Armas, where people hang out and buy tejes, small sweets made from pecans. Many different building that surround the Plaza are the statue of San Martin, the mansion he lived in, and the Municipal Palace. Other building in the city is the heavy Baroque Iglesia de la Compañía , begun in 1689, boasts a superb carved pulpit and gold-leaf altarpiece.
