Paracas and the Coast
After your flight to Lima and transfer to Paracas, you have the afternoon and evening free to relax at your hotel. The Paracas Bay Reserve, established in 1975 and covering 340,000 hectares, protects both marine and bird life. Located 15 km south of Pisco on the Paracas Peninsula, the reserve is home to millions of seabirds like flamingos, pelicans, and Humboldt penguins, all sustained by the rich Pacific fishing grounds. The reserve also houses a museum showcasing textiles and funerary bundles of the Paracas culture (c.700 BC), known for their advanced weaving and fascinating mummies with trepanned skulls, evidence of their medical practices. Interestingly, guano, the fertilizer made from seabird droppings, was once Peru's main source of income, with vast quantities exported to Europe in the mid-19th century.

At Libertador hotel's dock you will board a boat for a ride to the Ballestas Islands. Along the way you will see the famous figure known as The Candelabro, an enigmatic design etched on the desert floor hundreds of years ago. The Candelabro is overlooking the Ocean, so here you will have the chance to take pictures, as well as to learn about the most popular theories about it. Afterwards you will continue to the Ballestas Islands, which are inhabited by an amazing marine life, with over 200 types of migratory and resident birds, including Peruvian Pelicans, Belcher's gulls, Humboldt penguins, guanay cormorants, red-legged cormorants, Inca terns, Peruvian boobies, turkey vultures, among others. In addition you will also see around the Islands hundreds of sea lions resting at the beaches, sleeping on the rocks or swimming nearby. The Islands also provide shelter to the shy Humboldt penguins which are usually seen at the entrances of small caves near the cliffs. After touring around the islands for about 1 hour you will return to the Paracas harbor and the remainder of the day is yours to explore at leisure.
