Itinerary

Our adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Lima, heading to El Chaco pier in Paracas, where we will board a speedboat bound for the stunning Ballestas Islands, one of Peru’s most beautiful marine sanctuaries. During the boat ride, we will marvel at the mysterious Paracas Candelabrum, a massive 170-meter geoglyph whose origin remains a mystery. You will also have the chance to observe sea lions, Humboldt penguins, boobies, pelicans, and many other seabirds that thrive in this vibrant ecosystem.

After returning to the port, we will enjoy a short break along the waterfront before continuing to the Paracas National Reserve, where the desert meets the ocean in breathtaking harmony. We will visit scenic viewpoints such as La Catedral, Playa Roja, and Lagunillas, an ideal spot for lunch by the sea (not included). To end the day, we will relax at the paradisiacal La Mina Beach before returning to your hotel in Lima.
