After a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Paracas, head to the tourist pier to kick off your adventure. Board a speedboat with your bilingual guide and set out to explore the stunning Ballestas Islands.

Along the way, stop at the Paracas Peninsula to view the Candelabro, an enigmatic geoglyph carved into the hillside, whose origin and purpose remain a mystery to this day.

Next, continue to the marine sanctuary of the Ballestas Islands. Marvel at the rocky coastline, bustling with sea lions basking in the sun and penguins diving into the waters to hunt, alongside majestic pelicans and colourful blue-footed boobies.

11:00 AM After your wildlife adventure, return to the pier to begin your journey to the Paracas National Reserve. This reserve offers a breathtaking landscape, featuring vast deserts and towering sandstone cliffs right next to the sparkling blue ocean.

The tour includes stops at unique spots like Red Beach and Lagunillas Beach. After exploring some of the region's most remarkable natural sites, you'll return to your transport and start your journey back 3:30 PM.
