Full description Embark on an unforgettable adventure to the Callao Islands, an eco-tourism experience in Peru ideal for the whole family. This sea excursion will allow you to discover the incredible marine and coastal biodiversity surrounding Lima, with the unique opportunity to swim alongside sea lions in their natural habitat.

We will depart from the port of Callao on fast, safe, and comfortable boats, ideal for enjoying the trip. Along the way, you will learn about the history of San Lorenzo Island, a site steeped in legend since pre-Columbian times, and admire the impressive marine landscape of the "El Camotal" shoal and the open sea.

During the tour, you will also see the marine fauna that inhabits these waters up close: guano birds, Humboldt penguins, and, of course, hundreds of sea lions resting on the rocks or swimming near the boats. The highlight will be reaching Palomino Island, home to one of the largest sea lion colonies in Peru, where you'll have the opportunity to swim with them in a wetsuit—an exciting and safe experience, thanks to the absence of natural predators.

On the way back, we'll enjoy a relaxing walk through islets and cliffs with unique natural formations, while a snack is served on board.

Experience this eco-friendly excursion to the Callao Islands and discover the natural richness of the Peruvian Pacific like never before. An ideal tour for nature and adventure lovers!
