ITINERARY

Meeting point

Departure for adventure: At first, we observe the anchorage of yachts, warships, and merchant ships in the Bay of Callao. Along the way, we pass the shallows of El Camotal, open sea. We pass the island of San Lorenzo, with a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian times. We see fishing boats, several colonies of guano birds, and Humboldt penguins.

Swimming with sea lions: We reached the furthest point, Palomino Island, home to a large colony of sea lions, where we could swim freely among them in wetsuits, thanks to the absence of predators. It was an unforgettable and emotional experience.

Return to boarding: We begin the return journey through stunning cliffs and islets. A snack is served before arriving at the pier.

Arriving in Callao.
Notes:
Departure is scheduled between 10 and 11 a.m., depending on sea conditions. We'll inform you the day before. Tour order and times may vary depending on weather conditions, or sea conditions, to ensure safety. Sometimes, the sea is too rough for the boat to depart. If a weather report announces a storm, we may cancel the boat trip or part of it for safety reasons (and a refund will be issued).
