Start your day with pickup from your hotel in Lima and head to the first stop of the day, Chilca, for breakfast at your own expense. Continue to the Tourist Dock in Paracas to pass the Sernamp control and wait to embark to the Ballestas Islands.

Sail to the Ballestas Islands and surround yourself with abundant marine life, sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and an infinite number of guano birds. With luck, spot a curious dolphin. Stop at the figure on the sand known as The Candelabro where your guide will explain the different theories about its function.
