Islas Ballestas (pass by)

The tour starts at our office in Paracas, then we walk to the Marina Turistica where you will board our speedboat to begin our adventure to the stunning Ballestas Islands (group service).On the way you’ll stop at the Paracas Peninsula to see the enigmatic figure of the Candelabra, stunning design drawn on the side of a hill in the Peninsula. Nobody knows for sure who did it or why. There are many hypotheses regarding its origin, some believe it is related to the Nazca Lines but still found no proof or evidence that can define its creation. Afterward you will head off to Ballestas Island where you will enjoy a stunning worlds filled with birds and sea lions. You will navigate around the islands at a distance allowed and probably some caves but this will be depending on the condition of the sea. The tour will finish at the pier.

Q: Will I get seasick on Ballestas Islands Group Tour from Paracas?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
