Overview

The Tour to the Ballestas Islands begins at the craft and tourist dock of El Chaco. We will board our boat with 02 outboard motors that will take us to the wonderful Ballestas Islands, the most important wildlife sanctuary on the Peruvian coast, where we will observe sea lions, silly birds, pelicans, penguins and other seabirds.

Definitely the highlight of the Tour to the Ballestas Islands are the sea lions or sea lions who steal everyone's attention due to their curious behaviour (they sleep, “pose for the cameras”, or simply socialise and live without problems since occupy the top of the food chain in the area without natural predators).

Activity itinerary

The Chandelier
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
We stop after navigating 10 minutes to be able to carefully appreciate a northern point of the Paracas peninsula. Where you can look at, photograph and film the Chandelier where the tour guide will briefly explain about the measurements, materials from the area and their possible origin.
Islas Ballestas
  • 1h 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
The navigation continues and after approximately 15 minutes from the Chandelier you will arrive at the Ballestas Islands where you will have 30 minutes to appreciate a great biodiversity thanks to the Humboldt current and the upwelling phenomenon as well as other factors such as the sun and winds. Bird watching lovers will find a large number of these such as: seagulls, boobies, cormorants, pelicans, vultures and Humboldt penguins. Crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, seaweed and others will also be seen. Definitely the highlight of the Ballestas Islands Tour are the sea lions who steal everyone's attention due to their curious behaviour (they sleep, "pose for the cameras", or simply socialise and live without problems because they occupy the top of the food chain in the area without natural predators). The return, of about 40 minutes of navigation, becomes relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze is a natural anti-stress.
