Itinerary

1. Las Islas Ballestas

   Begin your adventure with an unforgettable two-hour motorboat excursion to the Ballestas Islands, often called “the Galápagos of Peru.” On your way, you’ll stop briefly to see the mysterious Candelabra geoglyph — a massive figure etched into the desert hillside whose origins remain unknown. As you reach the islands, you’ll be surrounded by abundant wildlife, including Humboldt Penguins, Peruvian Pelicans, Boobies, Cormorants, and Inca Terns. Watch colonies of sea lions bask on the rocks, and if you’re visiting during birthing season, you may even spot hundreds of baby pups alongside their mothers. Keep an eye out for playful dolphins and fascinating marine life such as starfish and sunfish.
