Our service begins with pickup from your hotel or meeting point in Ica, where our staff will welcome you to start this adventure. During the transfer to Paracas, you’ll enjoy views of the desert landscapes that define Peru’s southern coast.
Upon arrival at Paracas pier, you will board modern speedboats to visit the Ballestas Islands, often called the “Peruvian Galapagos.” On the way, you will see the enigmatic Candelabra geoglyph, carved into the desert hillside. Around the islands, you’ll witness incredible biodiversity: colonies of sea lions, charming Humboldt penguins, and a variety of seabirds such as pelicans, boobies, and Inca terns. The tour also reveals striking rock formations sculpted by the ocean.
Back at the dock, we continue to the Paracas National Reserve, a protected area where desert meets the Pacific Ocean. Travelling by tourist transport, you’ll visit viewpoints like La Mina Beach and the famous Red Beach, known for its unique reddish sand contrasting with the deep blue sea. Along the way, there will be stops for panoramic photos of desert landscapes and coastal wildlife.
After exploring, we return to Ica, ending a day filled with nature, breathtaking scenery, and marine culture.
