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 ready to discover the stunning 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'll continue our cruise along the coast of the Ballestas Islands. Here you'll see sea lions, Humboldt penguins and numerous sea birds which nest in the highest points of the islands.

Along the route, we'll learn about the wildlife that inhabit this extraordinary environment, such as why guano birds choose this archipelago to hatch and care for their chicks.

Our boat trip will conclude back at the port in Paracas at 10 am, and we'll return you to your hotel around 10:30 am.
