About this experience
You will set sail to the Palomino Islands, located in front of the Lima coast, from the La Punta. On your way, you will stop at the San Lorenzo Island,which is eight kilometers long and has played an important role in the history of Lima. You will visit the Palomino Islands, two islands that are part of a special ecosystem, where an extraordinary fauna - composed of sea lions, local and migratory birds - coexists. The lack of predators makes it possible to dive with the lions and penguins at a short distance and in complete harmony. You will finally return among islets inhabited by guano birds and the second largest colony of Humboldt penguins in Peru.
