Private Tour Ballestas Islands

The Ballestas Islands Tour starts at the artisanal and tourist dock of El Chaco. We board our boat and observe in principle the type of boats that are used in the two main activities in the district of Paracas: Tourism and fishing.

We sail through the Paracas Bay and see the largest peninsula we have in Peru. We stop then at a northern point of the Paracas peninsula to look, photograph and film the Candelabro where the tour guide in brief will explain about the measurements, materials of the area and its possible origin. The navigation continues and after approximately 15 minutes from the Candelabro you will reach the Ballestas Islands where you will find a great biodiversity thanks to the Humboldt current and the upwelling phenomenon in addition to other factors such as sun and winds. Birdwatchers will find a large number of birds such as: gulls, terns, boobies, cormorants, pelicans, vultures and Humboldt penguins. You will also see crustaceans, echinoderms, mollusks, seaweeds and others.
Definitely the highlight of the Ballestas Islands Tour are the sea lions who steal the attention of everyone because of their curious behavior (they sleep, "pose for the cameras", or simply socialize and live without problems because they occupy the top of the food chain in the area without natural predators).

The return becomes relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze is a natural anti-stress.
