      08:00 AM – Ballestas Islands Tour (2 Hours)
      We begin our maritime adventure with a boat tour to the Ballestas Islands, known as the “Peruvian Galapagos.” During the tour, we will also view the mysterious Candelabro geoglyph, an enormous figure etched into the dunes. The boat ride lasts approximately 2 hours and offers the opportunity to see sea lions, penguins, and a variety of seabirds in their natural habitat.
