Visiting the Palomino Islands from Lima is enjoying something totally different from what you can do in Lima. To begin, we will leave the cars behind and begin a boat trip through the sea. Before that, yes, we will take care of stopping by your hotel so that you have a better experience and can also complete the entire tour in the scheduled time. You will also have the assistance of an expert guide throughout the tour and will be able to see some of the main centers and islands of the Peruvian Navy. One of the most important benefits of this short sea crossing is that you can see a great variety of flora and fauna. We will see this biodiversity out to sea when we pass the first islands until we reach our main destination: the Palomino Islands.

Once we are in the Palomino Islands, we will be able to see a large number of sea lions in a completely natural state and the presence of some other migrant birds. This great variety of fauna uses these islands to make their colonies and can coexist through fishing. The tour will not end there as we will be able to swim alongside the less shy sea lions. To do this we will have the necessary equipment such as life jackets and an expert lifeguard in case of any unforeseen event. The tour is not very long, but you will have a really different experience.
