On the way you’ll stop at the Paracas Peninsula to see the enigmatic figure of the Candelabra, stunning design drawn on the side of a hill in the Peninsula. Nobody knows for sure who did it or why. There are many hypotheses regarding its origin, some believe it is related to the Nazca Lines but still found no proof or evidence that can define its creation. Afterward you will head off to Ballestas Island where you will enjoy a stunning worlds filled with birds and sea lions.

Uma experiência memorável. Viagem muito confortável, segura, com um guia a bordo muito pacífico, extremamente conhecedor da natureza e amável.
Visita ao Candelabro na península de Paracas e de seguida visita às 3 ilhas Ballestas, com observação de leões marinhos, meio milhão de aves, pinguins e caranguejos. Uma visita estonteante!

educational and beautiful. lots of birds, pelican, boobies, terns and more plus seals. just a short ride from the pier plus you have an amazing view of the Candleabra carved into the cliffside. We had the added blessing of perfect weather and animals that were OK with the boat full of people coming fairly close. Absolutely wonderful!
