Itinerary
Day 1
Ballestas Island tour
- The Tour to the Ballestas Islands begins at the artisanal and tourist pier of El Chaco. We boarded our glider and observed in principle the type of boats that are used in the two main activities in the Paracas district: Tourism and fishing.
- We sail through the Bay of Paracas and see the largest peninsula we have in Peru. Then we stop at a northern point of the Paracas peninsula to watch, photograph and film the Candelabra where the tour guide will briefly explain about the measurements, materials of the area and its possible origin. The navigation continues and after approximately 15 minutes from the Candelabro you reach the Ballestas Islands where there is a great biodiversity thanks to the Humboldt current and the outcrop phenomenon as well as other factors such as the sun and winds. Lovers of bird watching will find a large number of these such as: gulls, terns, peruvian boobies, cormorants, pelicans, vultures and Humboldt penguins, crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, seaweeds and others will also be seen.
- Definitely the highlight of the Tour to the Ballestas Islands are the sea lions or sea lions who steal everyone's attention because of their curious behavior (they sleep, “pose for the cameras”, or simply socialize and live without problems because occupy the top of the food chain in the zone without natural predators).
- The return becomes relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze is a natural stress reliever.
