Humboldt penguins, sea lions and more incredible wildlife await you on the Ballestas Islands! Let yourself be enchanted by Peru's natural wonders on this tour from Paracas.

Ballestas Islands Tour

At the selected time, we'll pick you up from Paracas and take you to the local port, where we'll board a speedboat to explore the coastal landscapes of the area.

Sailing along the coast of the Paracas Peninsula, we'll see the enigmatic Paracas Candelabra, a pre-historic geoglyph carved into the hillside.

We will continue our cruise along the Ballestas Islands, where you'll see local wildlife, including sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and various sea birds that nest on the islands.

Along the route, we'll also learn facts about the wildlife in this environment, including why guano birds choose this archipelago to hatch their chicks.

The boat trip will end back at the port in Paracas at 10 am, with return to hotels around 10:30 am.
