Explore the breathtaking wildlife and stunning coastlines of Peru through this adventure to the Ballestas Islands and Paracas National Reserve.
Ballestas Islands & Paracas National Reserve
Begin your day with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Paracas at 9 am, before heading to the port where a speedboat awaits. As we embark on our maritime journey around these picturesque islands, watch for the diverse array of wildlife, including sea lions, numerous birds, and Humboldt penguins, making this a memorable outing.
We'll glide past the Paracas Candelabra, an intriguing geoglyph etched into the hillside, steeped in mystery with origins believed to date back over 2000 years. During our exploration, we’ll delve into some of the various theories surrounding its creation.
After a brief intermission, we will transition back to the land to uncover the Paracas National Reserve. Here, a visit to the Interpretation Centre will provide insights into the indigenous flora and fauna thriving in this coastal sanctuary. You'll also encounter the stunning remains of the Cathedral, a prominent rock formation that historically stood as a powerful emblem of Peru.
Your adventure will conclude with visits to the breathtaking Red Beach and Yumaque Beach before returning you to your hotel in Paracas around 1 pm.
