Description
Experience the singular beauty of the Ballestas Islands. Witness playful seals and penguins along the rocky shores. Uncover the mystery of the Candelabro. Enjoy this incredible 2 hours boat trip.
Pick up from your hotel and go to the local harbour, where you will meet the rest of the group. Board our speedboat to begin your adventure on the stunning Ballestas Island. On the way, you will stop at the Paracas Peninsula to see the enigmatic figure of the Candelabro. A stunning design is drawn on the side of a hill on the Peninsula. Nobody knows for sure who did it or why. There are many hypotheses regarding its origin. Some believe it is related to the Nazca Lines but still found no proof or evidence to define its creation. Afterwards, you will visit the incredible Ballestas Island, where you will see thousands of sea birds and sea mammals such as sea lions, penguins, cormorants, pelicans, and many other species that can be seen. During this boat trip, we will be inside the boat and never get off. The tour will finish at the port. You will then have the option to stay for some food, or you can choose to go back to your hotel.
