Întrebări frecvente
What wildlife can be seen during a guided tour to the Ballestas Islands?

The islands are home to large colonies of sea lions, which can often be seen basking on the rocks or swimming in the surrounding waters. Additionally, the islands are a haven for birdwatchers, with species such as Humboldt penguins, Peruvian boobies, and Inca terns frequently spotted. Dolphins and even whales can sometimes be seen in the waters around the islands, making it a rich and exciting destination for nature enthusiasts.
What is the best time of year to visit the Ballestas Islands?
The best time to visit the Ballestas Islands is generally during the Peruvian summer months, from December to March. During this period, the weather is warmer and the seas are calmer, making for a more pleasant boat trip. However, wildlife can be seen year-round, and each season offers its own unique experiences. For example, the winter months from June to September are often cooler and can be a good time to see different migratory bird species. Regardless of the time of year, early morning tours are recommended to avoid the afternoon winds and to see the animals at their most active.
How long does a typical guided tour to the Ballestas Islands last?
A typical guided tour to the Ballestas Islands lasts around two hours. The tour usually begins with a boat ride from the town of Paracas, which takes about 30 minutes to reach the islands. Once there, the boat will navigate around the islands, allowing passengers to observe the wildlife and natural rock formations up close. The entire experience, including the boat ride to and from the islands, generally takes about two hours. Some tours may also include additional activities or stops, such as a visit to the Paracas National Reserve, which can extend the duration of the trip.
