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’ll continue our cruise along the Ballestas Islands to observe local wildlife, including sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and numerous sea birds nesting on the islands.

Along the route, we will learn about the wildlife that inhabits this environment, including why guano birds choose this archipelago to raise their chicks.

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