Besides its magnificent archeological sites you can also enjoy the amazing fauna and landscapes of the region of Ica. This makes Ica an excellent destination to combine the best of both worlds; nature and the ancient cultures of this amazing country and this beautiful region in particular.
This tour is a must for people who love fauna. By speedboat you will go to these special islands. On the way to the islands you will see the Candelabro figure. The Ballestas Islands are home to large quantities of sea lions and a variety of bird species like Pelicans, Boobies and Cormorants. It is also possible to observe Humboldt Penguins and with a bit of luck dolphins. The Ballestas Islands and the Paracas Reserve area played an important role in the economy of Peru in the mid-nineteenth century when vast quantities of “guano” (droppings of birds) were exported to Europe for use as fertilizer.
