Itinerary

Islas Ballestas
After picking you up from Lima, we’ll travel to Paracas, where you’ll board a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands Reserve, a protected area rich in marine life.
Here, you’ll observe sea lions, seabirds, and even adorable Humboldt penguins in their natural habitat.
On the way, marvel at the mysterious Candelabro Geoglyph, an enormous figure etched into the desert sand by the ancient Paracas civilization around 2,000 B.C. — a fascinating symbol whose meaning remains unsolved to this day.
