Description

This tour starts right inside San Martín Port, just a few metres from the cruise ship hangar – no need to take the ship’s shuttle buses. We’ll be waiting nearby, making your experience easy and stress-free. The tour begins at 9:00 AM, and we ask that you arrive 30 minutes early for check-in. After a short transfer to El Chaco, you'll have a brief stop to use the facilities before boarding a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands, where you’ll see sea lions, penguins, pelicans, cormorants, and the famous Candelabra geoglyph etched into the cliffs. Upon return, enjoy 30 minutes of free time to explore or grab a quick snack. We then continue to Tambo Colorado, one of the best-preserved Inca sites on Peru’s coast, where you'll discover ancient adobe structures, ceremonial plazas, and colourful walls that offer insight into Inca and pre-Inca history. The tour ends back inside San Martín Port, perfectly timed with your ship’s schedule. This is a stress-free, port-to-port tour designed specifically for cruise passengers looking to experience the best of Paracas and the Inca legacy in one day.
