| Trip
to Ballestas Islands:
The boats come out early in the morning
from the pier of the Hotel
Paracas or El Chaco and they offer
you a spectacular tour to Ballestas Islands,
located in the
Bay of Paracas. It is not allowed
to disembark in the islands, but the boats
arrive until the banks of the islands,
from where you will be able to appreciate
this marvel of the nature and the marine
wild life. The sea lions will probably
come closer until the boat or you will
see many penguins in the water. Thousands
of marine birds will fly between the islands
or you will be able to see their nests
on the rocks of the islands. Paracas is
3 hours from Lima
