Ballestas Islands Tour: A Spectacular Wildlife Adventure in Paracas

Join us on the Ballestas Islands Tour, an unforgettable journey to one of Peru’s most famous natural wonders. The tour begins with a visit to the mysterious Candelabro, a huge geoglyph on the Paracas Peninsula. This ancient figure, over 180 meters long, is carved into the dry hillside and can only be fully seen from the sea. As we cruise along the coast, our expert guide will share interesting stories about its history and possible connection to the Nazca Lines.

Next, we head to the Ballestas Islands, often called the “Galápagos of Peru.” These islands are famous for their stunning rock formations and rich wildlife. As we approach, you’ll see playful sea lions resting on the rocks or swimming near the boat. You’ll also spot the cute Humboldt penguins along the shores. Birdwatchers will enjoy seeing many species of seabirds, such as boobies, guanay cormorants, and terns.

This Ballestas Islands Tour is not just beautiful but also educational. Our guide will explain the unique ecosystem of the islands and why it’s so important to protect it. You’ll learn about the sea lions’ behavior, how the Humboldt penguins live, and the role the islands play in marine conservation in Peru.

At the end of the tour, we’ll return to El Chaco, the main pier in Paracas. The ride back is a chance to relax and enjoy the fresh ocean breeze. The calm waters and scenic views make this a perfect way to unwind after your adventure.
