Ballestas Islands & Paracas National Reserve Day Trip

30 minutes before the designated time, we'll meet at the Cruz del Sur bus station in Lima. From there, we'll set off on a 4-hour bus ride to Paracas.

The guide will be waiting at the station in Paracas. We'll board a bus to the harbor and board a speedboat, which will take us to the Ballestas Islands. We will spot colonies of sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and various endemic birds upon arrival.

During the trip, we'll also see the Paracas Candelabra, a geoglyph connected to the Nazca Lines. After 2 hours, we'll return to the mainland and continue to the Paracas National Reserve, where we will explore salt roads and view the flamingos in the area. Our next stop will be Lagunillas Beach to admire its landscape.

Finally, the guide will conclude the tour and take us back to the station in Paracas. We will return to the Cruz del Sur station in Lima, concluding the day trip 16.5 hours later.
