4.5(50)Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 50 reviews7 hFree cancellationBy Paracas Explorer Travel Agency
Ballestas Islands

About this activity

We sail through the bay of Paracas and see the largest peninsula that we have in Peru. We then stop at a point north of the Paracas peninsula to look at, photograph and film the Chandelier where the tour guide will briefly explain the measurements, materials from the area and their possible origin. The navigation continues and after approximately 15 minutes from the Chandelier you will arrive at the Ballestas Islands. Bird watching lovers will find a large number of these such as: seagulls, terns, boobies, cormorants, pelicans, vultures and Humboldt penguins. Definitely the highlight of the tour are the sea lions.

Paracas National Reserve, relax as you travel by modern transportation through the Reserve, which protects a desert coastal landscape favored by seabirds, including flamingos. Dramatic scenery and the opportunity to see these striking pink birds attract photographers and bird lovers alike.
