The Port of Pisco was disabled for marine traffic; being displaced by the modern port of San Martín, located in the peninsula of Paracas, about a 40-minute drive from Pisco. 

If you a are a desert rat like I am, this is the place to be. There is a pier. That’s it. 
Nothing else. No shop, no traffic, no taxi; just a whole lotta nothing….

That explains the name of the cocktail ‘Pisco sour’, right? I think anyone living in Pisco would be sour. 
Except me probably. And Mr. Sandman of course. I love the desert; wherever I travel, if there is a desert in the area, I will run it. 
We are in Pisco today after our stay in Lima for the past three days and this is the view from the ship; I felt like a kid in a candy store.

Some cool places to see when you are in the area are some cool fancy oasis and the candelabra

 Like most deserts; it gets brutally hot; up to 115F (50C). With these temperatures and no wind, this is my kind of weather.
I was able to play in the sand, in 110F and run a nice marathon.
