Our team will greet you at San Martín Port, just in time for you to board our exclusive
tourist transportation. Prepare your senses for an exciting journey that will
take you to El Chaco Dock, where we
will meet other passionate travelers like yourself. Together, we will board a speedboat and embark on a fascinating
experience that will lead you to discover the Ballestas Islands.
Located just 30 minutes off the coast of Paracas in the province of Pisco, Ica department, these
islands are an essential tourist treasure in Peru. Get ready to immerse
yourself in a unique ecosystem and marvel at the abundant wildlife that
inhabits them.
As we navigate, you will be amazed by the mysterious Candelabro, a geoglyph that defies
logic and still puzzles experts. This enigmatic figure, traced over 2500 years
ago on the dune of the Paracas National
Reserve, resembles the famous Nazca Lines, leaving behind an aura of
mystery and intrigue.
The Ballestas Islands and the Paracas Reserve will surprise
you with their stunning natural beauty. You will be captivated by the unique geological formations and have the
opportunity to admire up close an astonishing variety of wildlife, including
boobies, pelicans, sea lions, and the adorable Humboldt penguins.
These islands harbor an incredible number of birds, both
resident and migratory, and thanks to that, they possess guano, the world`s richest natural fertilizer. Here, you can observe
the guano birds, such as the Peruvian booby, the Peruvian pelican, and the
guanay cormorant, whose presence has historically been so valuable that for
years, guano was the foundation of the Peruvian economy, providing stability
and prosperity to the country.
After exploring this natural paradise, we will return to the
dock, where we will accompany you back to San
Martín Port, so you can continue with your cruise adventure. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself
in this amazing experience and discover the marine richness that lies just 260
kilometers from the city of Lima.
