Ballestas Islands Tour

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

Sailing along the Paracas Peninsula, we will see the Paracas Candelabra, a pre-historic geoglyph carved into the hillside.

We'll continue our cruise around the Ballestas Islands where you can observe sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and various sea birds that nest on the islands.

During the trip, we'll share facts about the wildlife in this environment, including why guano birds choose this archipelago for nesting.
