Palomino Islands Speedboat Trip & Swimming with Sea Lions

At 10 am, we'll meet in front of the El Mirador Restaurant in La Punta. From there, we'll walk for a few minutes to board the speedboat for our cruise around the islands of Callao.

The boat will sail across the South Pacific to admire rock formations and observe fishing activities. We'll pass El Camotal, an island submerged after an earthquake and visible only during low tide.

Next, we'll head to San Lorenzo, known as a "mystery island." It houses a navy base, cemeteries of Chilean soldiers, and over 20 pre-Incan archaeological sites.

We will then visit El Frontón, notable for the ruins of a prison that held prisoners from the Shining Path communist party in the 1980s. We will also view the Cavinzas, a group of rocky islands and islets with natural caves, home to a colony of Humboldt penguins.

Finally, we'll explore the Palomino Islands, observing the ecosystem of guano birds and the colony of sea lions. We will take a dip near the coast to swim with these playful animals.

At 1 pm, we'll sail back to the meeting point in Callao.
