Description

We meet at the designated location, then board our speed boat. We listen to our guide's instructions, sail in the historic Paracas Bay, and skirt the Paracas Peninsula, admiring arches, caves, and beautiful, striking cliffs. We'll have a spectacular view of the Candelabro, located on a reddish-gray hill carved into the slope of compacted earth. Then we'll head to the Ballestas Islands, where we'll see arches, caves, cliffs, and small beaches where sea lions live in their natural habitat. We'll also see Humboldt penguins on the rocks or in caves, like little soldiers. In the past, the Ballestas Islands were an area for extracting bird guano. We added a visit to Isla Blanca to the tour because it's often not possible to see sea lions or penguins on the Ballestas Islands, and the two islands are very different and far apart from each other. Finally, we return to our starting point.
