Description:
Enjoy a Day Surrounded by Nature – Paracas Reserve & Ballestas Islands
Experience a full day of nature and adventure with a private tour from Lima to the Paracas National Reserve, including a boat excursion to the Ballestas Islands.
We offer pick-up from the airport or your hotel in Lima, with private transportation for your comfort. This program can also be fully customized to suit your preferences.
We depart very early from Lima, as visits to the Ballestas Islands are only allowed in the morning. Upon arrival in Paracas, you’ll have some time to enjoy a coffee before boarding a speedboat to the Ballestas Islands, famous for their rich marine biodiversity.
As you navigate around the islands, you’ll admire their impressive rock formations, home to a variety of seabirds, sea lions, and Humboldt penguins. This guided boat excursion lasts approximately 2 hours.
After the boat tour, we’ll continue with a land excursion through the Paracas National Reserve. The scenery looks like something out of a science fiction movie, with its otherworldly desert landscapes and striking colors. The visit also includes a stop at the Julio C. Tello Museum, where you’ll learn about the Paracas culture, one of Peru’s most important pre-Columbian civilizations.
We promise a fascinating day, perfect for nature lovers and archaeology enthusiasts — a truly unique combination you’ll remember!
