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 will walk for a few minutes to board the speedboat that will take us on our cruise around the islands of Callao.

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

We'll also head to San Lorenzo, known as a "mystery island." This island hosts a navy base, cemeteries of Chilean soldiers, and over 20 pre-Incan archaeological sites.

Next, we will go to El Frontón, whose main attraction is the ruins of the prison that held prisoners of the Shining Path communist party in the 1980s. We'll also see the Cavinzas, a group of rocky islands home to a colony of Humboldt penguins.

Then, we'll skirt the Palomino Islands to observe the ecosystem of guano birds and the sea lions that inhabit the area. We will also have the opportunity to swim with these animals near the coast.

At the end of the trip, we will return to the meeting point in Callao at 1 pm.
