About this activity

We will visit the natural treasures of the southern coast of Peru.

The Ballestas Islands, often called "Peru's Galapagos", are a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean known for their amazing marine biodiversity. They are inhabited by sea birds, such as the booby, guanay cormorant and Humboldt penguin, as well as sea lions that rest on the rocks. These islands are a paradise for bird watching and marine life.

The Paracas National Reserve is a vast protected space on the Peruvian coast, famous for its impressive desert landscape and its ecological importance. Here, visitors can explore sand dunes, pristine beaches, and unique rock formations. The reserve is also home to a wide variety of migratory birds, such as flamingos, as well as a rich diversity of marine life in its waters, including fish, dolphins, and whales.
