    Islas Ballestas

    Upon arrival at Puerto del Chaco, you'll have 30 to 40 minutes to enjoy breakfast on your own and use the restrooms. It's the perfect time to relax, savor a local coffee overlooking the sea, and prepare for the start of your excursion. Afterward, we'll head to the pier to embark on a fascinating trip to the Ballestas Islands, renowned for their stunning marine biodiversity and rock formations sculpted by the wind and sea. During the boat tour, you'll have the opportunity to observe colonies of sea lions basking on the rocks, as well as pelicans, boobies, seagulls, and other migratory birds that fill the coastal sky with life and color. Along the way, you'll also admire the famous Candelabro geoglyph of Paracas, an enigmatic figure carved into the sand that has intrigued explorers and scientists for centuries. This boat trip, which lasts approximately an hour and a half, will provide unique opportunities for photography and enjoy direct contact with nature.
