Highlights
  • Islas Ballestas - Ballestas Islands Tour.- We will board our slider with 02 outboard motors that will take us to the wonderful Ballestas Islands, we stop after about 10 minutes at a northern point of the Paracas peninsula to look at, photograph and film the Chandelier where the guide tourism in summary will explain about the measures, materials of the area and its possible origin. Then we will continue our trip to the most important majestic wildlife sanctuary on the Peruvian coast, where we will observe sea lions, booby birds, pelicans, penguins and other seabirds.
    The return becomes relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze is a natural anti-stress.
  • Paracas National Reserve - You will have 1 free hour to walk along the boardwalk, and then board our vehicle to begin our group trip to the Paracas Reserve. During your tour, you will learn more about the Paracas Reserve by observing all the fauna, flora and many other important facts about the Paracas Peninsula. We will then drive through a lifeless desert until we reach an area where once stood a large natural rock formation known as the Cathedral. Unfortunately, this old formation did not withstand the earthquake of 2007. In this place you will have stunning views of the desert and the blue ocean and see thousands of sea birds, and then you will visit Red Beach. Without a doubt, the Tour to the Paracas National Reserve is something unique to see in Peru.

Excellent tour - We did a combined tour of Islas Ballestas and the Paracas National Reserve with Paracas Explorer. The latter ended up being a private tour because we were the only Anglophones - and Manuel really rose to the occasion. He was a great guide. Both sites are absolutely amazing - do not miss while in Paracas! The scenery is just lush.
