Our guide at San Martin Port will meet you, and then you will be transferred to Paracas town. You will meet the rest of the group and board our speedboat to begin your adventure to the stunning Ballestas Island. On the way, you will stop at the Paracas Peninsula to see the enigmatic figure of the Candelabro. A gorgeous design is drawn on the side of a hill on 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 to define its creation. Afterwards, you will head off to Ballestas Island, where you will enjoy a stunning world filled with birds and sea lions. Here, you will visit the three islands at an allowed distance, navigating in some caves (this will depend on the condition of the sea). At the end of the tour, we all go back to Port El Chaco, where you will have the choice to stay and wander a bit more and have some food there, or you can board our vehicle to return to San Martin Port to rejoin your ship. If you choose to stay, you can take the shuttle bus services the cruise liner provides.Â

What to bring
Most cruise liners will tell you that Local Operators aren’t allowed to be inside the port because it is a cargo port. Making a silly excuse, creating fear, so you can cancel the tour with us and book it with them. We have been operating since 2007 and have no problem accessing the ports as we hold all the licences that allow us to access all Peru ports.

We will be arriving on the Holland America Cruise Ship on Sunday, March 23, 2025 at Puerto General San Martin at 8:00 am and depart at 5:00 pm. I am interested in this tour for 2 adults ages 79 and 82 who walk slowly and not far. Will this tour be okay for us?
