Boat Trip to The Ballestas Islands

Also known as Islas Ballestas, this small circle of islands is situated within the Paracas District off the south coast of Peru. These islands comprise mostly boulder formations and are home to some of the most incredible marine and bird life in the country!

Presently, Ballestas Island remains a reserved area to preserve the marine wildlife and its ecosystem. So, the only method to go to this mesmerizing place is by acquiring a boat tour. Most of the operators provide a 2-hour boat tour, beginning in the morning, where you’ll be allowed to witness its landscapes and watch the animals in their natural habitat, making it the ideal choice for animal lovers!

When you reach the port, you will head out by speed boat toward the islands. The first ride takes 30 minutes with a stop to see the ‘Candlebro’ a geoglyph on the sand of the National Park Reserve of Paracas.

Take a Day Trip to Huacachina

There are some exciting day trips from the town too, for example, Ica and Huacachina. From our perspective is the most amazing place to visit if you want to leave Paracas for the day!

It’s an impressive desert oasis established to the west of Ica. At the center of the oasis is a prepossessing green lagoon and a circle of palm trees. There are not so many things to explore in Huacachina but that’s what makes it so unique. 

Just unwinding by the oasis is absolutely ideal. To get more adventure, you can hike up on one of the neighbor sand dunes or go in a dune buggy for a thrilling ride!

The Paracas to Huacachina bus takes a time of over 1.5 hours and sets you down in Ica. From there, you can go in a tuk-tuk to the oasis or, you can get on a private Paracas to Huacachina tour.

Search for Sea Lions

If you’re taking a stay in Paracas for a couple of days, there is a good possibility you might come across some sea lions. So make certain you keep your eyes open!

Unquestionably, the best chance you have of witnessing the sea lions here is on a Ballestas Island tour. 

However, they frequently come into the harbor also. In fact, you can see them almost every night swimming amongst the boats. Some would even come out of the water and sit on the sea wall which sounds really amazing, right? Go there and Enjoy!

We will absolutely recommend sitting at one of the ocean-front bars or restaurants with a drink in your hand because this will provide you with an amazing opportunity to witness these mesmerizing creatures.
