1. Prepare yourself for a truly unforgettable adventure! Our first stop will be the Paracas Reserve, home to the iconic Ballestas Islands. You'll embark on a shared boat ride, immersing yourself in breathtaking landscapes, witnessing charming sea lion families, encountering incredible birdlife, and even spotting tiny penguins. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss! NOTE: On rare occasions, the Peruvian Navy may close the port or the reserve.

About Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on clifftops above the Pacific, is a city of colonial plazas, pre-Inca ruins and an exciting, celebrated food scene.

The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revolves around the Plaza Mayor, with the cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop's Palace with its carved wooden balconies. The Monastery of San Francisco hides catacombs beneath its yellow church, and the colonial mansions around it recall the riches of the viceroyalty.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
