LAS ADVENTURE

Peru offers an unparalleled experience for those seeking the unique allure of its natural wonders. Visitors can enjoy the breathtaking sight of the world's largest colony of sea lions while exploring diverse landscapes such as deserts and rugged cliffs, all within close proximity to the captivating ocean.



Following a convenient hotel pickup from either Paracas or Pisco, proceed to the Marina Turistica to commence your journey. Embark on a thrilling expedition aboard a speedboat piloted by a bilingual, Spanish and English-speaking guide, navigating towards the breathtaking Ballestas Marine Sanctuary. During your voyage, pause briefly at the Paracas Peninsula to marvel at the enigmatic Candelabro, an ancient symbol etched into the island’s rugged terrain—its origins and significance still shrouded in mystery.

Subsequently, traverse towards the pristine Ballestas Marine Sanctuary. Marvel at the dramatic shoreline, teeming with lounging seals and penguins hunting beneath the waves—interspersed with majestic pelicans and vibrant blue-footed boobies. Upon returning to the Marina Turistica, embark on a scenic drive to Paracas National Reserve.

This awe-inspiring region offers an expansive desert landscape punctuated by towering sandstone cliffs bordering the azure ocean. As you drive through the reserve, explore the Cathedral, a site where a colossal rock formation once stood before succumbing to a catastrophic earthquake. Your itinerary concludes with a visit to Playa Roja and Lagunillas Beaches, two strikingly unique red-sand beaches that stand as prime examples of nature’s raw beauty.

Upon completing your exploration, relax in the comfort of your hotel after a memorable adventure.
