1-day ballestas islands experience

If you are an adventurist or a nature lover, this is a fantastic opportunity to see some of Peru's coastal wildlife.

Nicknamed the mini Galapagos Islands, the Ballestas Islands are located just off the Paracas Peninsula on the Pacific coast, and are a haven for marine wildlife. Here you'll discover sea lions, the Humboldt Penguin, and an array of seabirds. With luck, it's even possible to see the Andean Condor or dolphins.

As well as this, you'll see the islands' beautiful caves and arches which have been shaped over hundreds of years. You'll also enjoy a great view of one of the ancient Nazca Lines, the Candelabro, on the hills of Paracas Peninsula.
