Set sail for the spectacular Islas Ballestas off the coast of southern Peru on this 2-hour tour to the «Little Galapagos» from Paracas.
These spectacular islands, eroded into many caves and arches, provide shelter for thousands of seabirds and hundreds of sea lions. Although the islands fall just outside the Paracas National Reserve they are protected by separate legislation.
On the boat journey, you will see the famous Candelabra geoglyph, a giant figure engraved into the sandy hills.
The islands are home to over 150 species of marine birds including the Humboldt penguin, cormorants, boobies and pelicans; even condors have been known to visit. On the shores can be seen large numbers of sea lions and in the sea it is possible to encounter dolphins and even whales.
