Cruise Port Excursion: Ballestas Islands and Tambo Colorado
From €99 per person
See availability →A Ballestas Islands and Tambo Colorado cruise excursion that starts and ends inside San Martín Port, pairing a speedboat ride with an adobe Inca site.
For passengers whose cruise ship calls at Pisco, this Ballestas Islands and Tambo Colorado cruise excursion fits a wildlife cruise and an archaeological visit into one day. The group gathers inside San Martín Port, close to the ship's hangar, and does not need the cruise line's own shuttle buses.
A brief drive reaches El Chaco, where a speedboat sets off for the Ballestas Islands. From the water you can pick out sea lions, penguins, pelicans, cormorants and the Candelabra figure on the cliff. Back on shore, half an hour is yours for a snack or a stroll.
Air-conditioned transport then goes on to Tambo Colorado, among the best preserved Inca sites on this coast. Adobe buildings, ceremonial plazas and painted walls tell the story of Inca and earlier cultures.
