What you can expect

Cruise out to the uninhabited Ballestas Islands, a wildlife sanctuary and site of pre-Incan culture. During your journey you encounter a range of wildlife, from the handsome Humboldt penguins, to fur seals, sea lions, and a wide variety of marine and island birds.

Board a boat and sail to the wild and unpopulated Ballestas Islands, where you are sure to witness colonies of seabirds, boobies, penguins, pelicans, and a large population of sea lions, which come up to the side of the boat to say hello. Throughout your adventure, admire the island's incredible geological formations, hardy wildlife, and even the ruins of a pre-Incan society that once called the island home.

As you leave and approach the island, famous lines carved in the hills form a candelabra, long serving as a guide to sea captains. At the end of your trip, return to the pier at El Chaco.
