Description

This tour to Palomino islands will give you a fabulous natural spectacle produced by the birds of the Peruvian cold sea and the sea lions living in their natural habitat.
On the coast, you can find a variety of birds such as: gulls, guanayes, and tendrils, among others. In the highest part of the island there is a lighthouse that served as a guide to the boats that once frequented the beach. Enjoy this unique and unforgettable experience in the islands of Callao.

You begin the tour by going to the port of Callao to start your adventure. First, see the Camotal, which was submerged under the water as a result of an earthquake. On low tide days you can see some remains still. Then, you will see San Lorenzo island, which has a large cemetery with remains dating from the pre-Inca period and other human remains from different eras that summarize the history of the country.

You will explore around the islands for 50 minutes and you even have the possibility to bathe with the sea lions.
