Palomino Islands Speedboat Trip & Swimming with Sea Lions

At 10 am, we'll meet in front of the El Mirador Restaurant in La Punta. We'll then walk a few minutes to board the speed boat for a cruise around the islands of Callao.

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

Next, we'll visit San Lorenzo, known as a "mystery island", which houses a navy base and cemeteries of Chilean soldiers, along with over 20 pre-Incan archaeological sites.

We will then proceed to El Frontón, known for its prison ruins, infamous for holding prisoners of the Shining Path in the 1980s. We'll also see the Cavinzas, rocky islands home to a colony of Humboldt penguins.

Finally, we will skirt the Palomino Islands to observe a colony of sea lions and take a dip to swim with these animals. The trip concludes with our return to the meeting point in Callao at 1 pm.
