Description of Paracas Full Day – Ballestas Islands and Paracas National Reserve

Join us for a fun Paracas Full Day trip, a beautiful place by the sea in Peru. This trip is all about exploring two amazing spots: the Ballestas Islands and the Paracas National Reserve. You’ll see lots of animals and beautiful views, making it a perfect adventure for nature lovers.

Morning: Boat ride to Ballestas Islands

We start early on the Paracas Full Day tour, picking you up from where you’re staying between 6:30 and 7:00 am. Then, we head to Paracas and get on a boat for a 1.5-hour ride to the Ballestas Islands. These islands are super special because they’re home to many different animals, kind of like the famous Galápagos Islands.

On the way to the islands, we’ll see a huge drawing on a hillside called the Candelabra of Paracas. It’s very old and mysterious because no one knows exactly why it’s there.

When we reach the Ballestas Islands, get ready to see lots of birds like pelicans and penguins, and sea lions too. These islands are a great place for animals to live and you can watch them in their natural home, which is pretty cool.

Lunch time at Lagunilla Beach during your Paracas Full Day tour

After our island adventure, we’ll have lunch at a beach restaurant in Lagunilla. Here, you can try some local seafood, which is really tasty, and enjoy the beach view. This lunch is not included.

Afternoon: Visit to Paracas National Reserve

Next, we explore the Paracas National Reserve, a big park by the sea with amazing sights. We’ll see more animals, like flamingos, and check out beautiful beaches with red sand and clear blue water. You can even swim and take lots of pictures here.

We’ll spend a good part of the afternoon enjoying this beautiful natural reserve, learning about the area, and relaxing by the sea.

Heading back to Ica from Paracas Full Day tour

We’ll finish our day around 4:30 pm and head back to Ica, where we started. This day trip is a great way to see some of Peru’s best natural spots, from cool animals living on islands to beautiful beaches and tasty local food. It’s a day full of adventure and nature that you won’t forget!
