At the scheduled time, we will pick you up from your hotel, airport, or the Port of Callao if you are arriving on a cruise. Sit back and enjoy a comfortable 3-hour private drive from Lima to Paracas, where your adventure begins. You will board a speedboat to explore the Ballestas Islands, often called Peru’s “Mini Galápagos.” Along the way, admire the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph etched into the desert cliffs before reaching the islands, where an incredible wildlife spectacle awaits. Get up close to sea lions resting on the rocks, spot playful Humboldt penguins, and witness thousands of seabirds in their natural habitat. After the tour, you will return to the Paracas harbor. This experience is flexible, giving you time to enjoy lunch by the ocean or visit interesting places in Paracas such as the Julio C. Tello Museum. Please note that this boat tour operates only in the morning. If your schedule does not fit, we offer a flexible 2-day option tailored to your itinerary.
