This Ballestas Islands tour with pisco tasting gives you wildlife in the morning and a glass in hand afterwards, all within about two and a half hours. You meet at the operator's office in Paracas, hop on a speedboat with a guide and sail out along the Paracas National Reserve coast.
On the water the sights are the Candelabra geoglyph, guano birds, Humboldt penguins and sea lions, with time to take photos and simply watch the coast slide by.
- Ballestas Islands, home to the marine wildlife
- The Candelabra geoglyph on the shore
- About 20 minutes of sipping several kinds of pisco and Peruvian wine while the guide describes each one
The tasting is free and comes after the boat trip, so the outing covers both the nature and the flavours of Paracas. The tourist entry ticket, food and travel insurance are not included. The tour is not recommended for wheelchair users or for people with back, mobility, heart, respiratory or kidney problems.
