During the trip, you will have the opportunity to admire the enigmatic Candelabro, a pre-Hispanic figure carved in the sand. Upon reaching the islands, you will witness a large number of sea lions resting on the rocks, Humboldt penguins and an impressive variety of seabirds, which will make your camera keep capturing unforgettable moments. An expert tour guide will share stories about the geology of the place, the local fauna and its ecological importance. Afterwards, we will head to the Paracas National Reserve, a unique ecosystem where the desert meets the sea. First, we will visit the Mirador de la Playa Roja, where you will have time to take amazing pictures of this impressive landscape, famous for its reddish sand that contrasts perfectly with the blue of the sea. Then, you will enjoy 1 hour of free time to relax and take a refreshing swim at the beautiful La Mina Beach, famous for its crystal clear waters and natural surroundings.
