Description

Between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., we will pick you up from your hotel in Ica and depart for the El Chaco dock, in Paracas. Once we arrive at this embarkation point, we will embark on a tour of the Ballestas Islands aboard a motorized glider. While we sail through this area of the Pacific Ocean we will pass by such iconic places as the Candelabro, an enigmatic 170-meter geoglyph. During the journey, which will last approximately two hours, we will also observe a wide variety of native fauna specimens such as sandpipers, boobies, seagulls, pelicans, chuitas or red-headed vultures. We will also see Humboldt penguins and sea lions. We will conclude the journey by returning to the El Chaco dock, where you will have free time to have breakfast or take a walk. Next, we will go to the Paracas National Reserve, where we will visit the viewpoints of La Catedral, Punta Santa María and Playa Roja. We will also stop at Lagunilla beach, where you can have lunch on your own, and at La Mina beach. Finally, at 4:30 p.m. we will be back in Ica.
