Description

Cruise to Palomino Islands for a unique experience swimming with sea lions in the Pacific Ocean. Visit San Lorenzo Island, search for penguins, and enjoy birdwatching on a wildlife adventure from Lima. Set sail to the Palomino Islands from La Punta and stop at San Lorenzo Island. Learn the island's important role in the history of Lima from your guide. The 8-kilometer-long island is home to marine creatures including scallops, seabirds, and sea lions. Continue to the Palomino Islands, two islands that are part of a special ecosystem, where extraordinary marine wildlife coexists. Lack of predators means the ecosystem is bursting with wildlife of all types, including sea lions, penguins, and migratory seabirds. Jump off the boat into the clear, warm Pacific waters for a fun-filled swimming adventure with sea lions. Your guide will provide safety instructions and tips to make the most of your time with the playful marine mammals. If you are lucky, penguins might come and join the fun. After your exhilarating swim, head back to the mainland cruising past islets inhabited by guano birds and the second-largest colony of Humboldt penguins in Peru.
