After breakfast, we will head to the pier to board a boat to the Ballestas Islands, where we will observe sea lions, seabirds and the geoglyph of the Candelabra. Important: In case of bad weather, access to the islands may be restricted by security. If it happens, we will visit the Paracas National Reserve or Isla Blanca as an alternative. This decision is usually made the same day, shortly before boarding.

After breakfast, we will head to the pier to embark on an unforgettable boat trip to the Ballestas Islands. During the tour, we will sail through calm waters while observing an impressive diversity of seabirds such as pelicans, boobies and seagulls, as well as numerous colonies of sea lions resting on the rocks. One of the highlights will be the view of the enigmatic geoglyph of the Candelabra, a mysterious symbol drawn on the side of a hill that continues to arouse curiosity among visitors and archaeologists. A unique experience that combines nature, history and spectacular landscapes off the Peruvian coast.
