V!VA User‘s Description
Paracas consists of a peninsula, bay, pre-Inca culture and the National Reserve. It is located approximately 150 miles from Lima, 50 miles from Ica and 130 miles from Nazca.
Between 750 BC and 100 AD, the Paracas culture thrived on the Paracas Peninsula. Information from excavations tells us that they had a detailed knowledge of irrigation and water management. The large excavation known as Wari Kayan uncovered intricate subterranean burial chambers in which dead ancestors were placed. The mummies were wrapped with layers of incredibly ornate and finely woven textiles. The Paracas are best known for these woven textiles.
