Ballestas Islands Tour From San Martin Port

Our team will be waiting for you at San Martín Port, ready for you to board our exclusive tourist transportation. Get ready for an exhilarating journey that will take you to El Chaco Dock, where you'll meet fellow enthusiastic travelers. Together, we'll board a speedboat and set off on an incredible adventure to explore the Ballestas Islands.

Situated just 30 minutes off the coast of Paracas in the Pisco province, Ica department, these islands are a must-visit gem in Peru. Prepare to dive into a unique ecosystem and be amazed by the abundant wildlife that calls it home.

During our journey, you'll be awestruck by the enigmatic Candelabro, a geoglyph that challenges understanding and continues to intrigue experts. This mysterious figure, etched over 2500 years ago on the dunes of the Paracas National Reserve, bears a resemblance to the famous Nazca Lines, adding an air of mystery and wonder.

The Ballestas Islands and the Paracas Reserve will enchant you with their breathtaking natural beauty. You'll be mesmerized by the distinctive geological formations and have the chance to admire a remarkable variety of wildlife up close, including boobies, pelicans, sea lions, and the charming Humboldt penguins.

These islands are home to an incredible array of birds, both resident and migratory, and as a result, they produce guano, the world's richest natural fertilizer. Here, you can observe guano birds like the Peruvian booby, the Peruvian pelican, and the guanay cormorant, whose presence has historically been so significant that, for years, guano was the backbone of the Peruvian economy, bringing stability and prosperity to the nation.

After exploring this natural wonder, we will return to the dock and accompany you back to San Martín Port, so you can continue your cruise adventure. Don't miss the chance to dive into this extraordinary experience and uncover the marine treasures located just 260 kilometers from Lima.
