Description

The tour starts at the artisan and tourist pier of El Chaco where we board our glider and observe in principle the type of boats used in the two main activities in the district of Paracas: Tourism and fishing.

We sail around the bay of Paracas and see the largest peninsula we have in Peru. We then stop at a northern point of the Paracas Peninsula to look, photograph and film the Candelabro where the tour guide will explain about the measurements, materials of the area and its possible origin. The navigation continues and after approximately 15 minutes from the Candelabro you reach the Ballestas Islands where you can find a great biodiversity thanks to the Humboldt current and the phenomenon of upwelling as well as other factors such as the sun and winds. Lovers of bird watching will find many of these such as: gulls, terns, boobies, cormorants, pelicans, vultures and Humboldt penguins. You will also see crustaceans, echinoderms, molluscs, seaweed and others. Definitely the highlight of the tour are the sea lions or sea lions who steal everyone's attention because of their curious behavior (they sleep, "pose for the cameras", or simply socialize and live without problems because they occupy the top of the food chain in the area without natural predators).

The return becomes relaxing and enjoying the sea breeze is a natural anti-stress.

Around noon we start the tour to the Paracas National Reserve, which is designed for travelers looking for a dose of nature. Relax as you travel through the Reserve, which protects a coastal desert landscape favored by seabirds, dramatic landscapes and the opportunity to appreciate the Peninsula Isthmus, the Cathedral, Playa Supay and Playa Lagunillas.
