Ballestas Islands and Mini Buggy Tour in Paracas Reserve
From €49 per person
See availability →A Ballestas Islands mini buggy tour of about four hours: a boat trip to sea lions, penguins and the Candelabro, then your own mini buggy through the Paracas National Reserve.
The Ballestas Islands mini buggy tour is two excursions in one outing of about four hours, with the wheel in your own hands for the second half. It begins at sea, on a boat run by a professional skipper and an assistant, where life jackets are provided and a bilingual English and Spanish guide points out what you see.
Around the islands you pass colonies of sea lions, Humboldt penguins and many seabirds. The Candelabro, an ancient geoglyph cut into the sand whose origin is still a mystery, comes into view as well.
On land you switch to a mini dune buggy and drive across desert, beaches and cliffs in the Paracas National Reserve.
