About this tour

Discover the incredible marine ecosystem of the Ballestas Islands in Paracas with Excursions In Peru. You’ll be impressed by the large geoglyph called “The Candelabro,” a marvelous design located on the north coast of the peninsula in Paracas Bay. Later, on the Ballestas Islands, we’ll visit the famous sea lions, Humboldt penguins, and numerous species of migratory birds that inhabit this natural paradise made up of three marvelous island and islet formations.

Tourists are not allowed to disembark on these islands to avoid disturbing the animals, but boats can get close enough to enjoy their beauty.

Concluding our tour to the Ballestas Islands, we will continue to the wonderful Paracas National Reserve in our modern and comfortable vehicle. We will make four important stops: Supay Beach, the Cathedral, the Paracas Isthmus, and Red Beach.
Where our guide (Spanish and English) will tell the history of Paracas. Why is our Paracas Reserve so important? What does Paracas mean? How and what was the Paracas culture? We will observe different types of birds and learn more about our history.
