This tour is for all visitors who are landing at San Martin Port where you can enjoy a half day trip around the beautiful Islands. You will be able to spot thousands of marine species such as, penguins, sea lions, sea birds, dolphins and many other species.

It was a privilege to visit these islands by boat early in the morning. Our trip left from the hotel jetty. We had a chance to see the Nazca "candelabra " up close which was a nice add on to our flight over the Lines a few days before. The islands of course are brimming with bird life and the boat was able to get quite close to the cliffs to watch them.Quite bizarre having a tiny Humboldt penguin and an enormous pelican in the same photo! There is plenty of opportunity to see the sea lions basking…there are hundreds of them, including babies. The history of this place is interesting too. At one time the value of the Guano ( bird poo) was worth more as a fertiliser to the Peruvian economy than gold! No-one is allowed to land on the islands apart from the wardens who stay there for three months at a time. They are a protected site. I have not been to the Galapagos islands, but my trip to Ballestas must surely have been nearly as good?

The Chandelier

Reviewed By acorna - Vilnius, Lithuania

The best (and probably the only) way to see the Candelabra is from the side of the ocean, while on the way to the Ballestas Islands. There are many speculations as to who and when created the geoglyph: people of pre-Columbian culture, pirates or the Peru independence founder José de San Martín. Equally many speculations there are about what is depicted in the geoglyph: from the tree of life, to hallucinogenic plant, to trident or a masonic symbol. Anyway, it is an interesting landmark worth a a photo or two to bring home and speculate more about its origins.
